Additive manufacturing 
Also known as 3D printing. A technique that involves layering on materials one 
microlayer at a time to create a 3D product or component, rather than stamping, 
punching, casting, or injecting plastics. Additive manufacturing enables the 
creation of product designs that were impossible to create with the old style of 
manufacturing. 
AI: Artificial intelligence 
A software program that simulates human thinking and decision-making using

Describes a software that can view and edit documents created with previous 
versions of that software. 
 BIM: Building information modeling 
A design process that involves creating virtual models of structures and spaces, 
usually in 3D, for architectural projects. 
BOM: Bill of materials 
A document that lists all of the components, parts, and other materials needed to 
completely build a product. 
CAD model: Computer-aided design model 
The virtual part or machine an engineer places in their design via CAD software. 
Engineers can download CAD models from a manufacturer’s digital parts 
catalog and test them in their virtual design. 
CAD software: Computer-aided design software 
The computer system that an engineer uses to create and document designs. CAD 
software makes the design and documentation process easier by improving 
accuracy and efficiency. 
CAM: 
Computer-aided 
manufacturing 
The use of computers to automate manufacturing processes. 
 CoE: 
Center 
of 
excellence 
A group within an organization that operates outside all its other departments and 
works to implement different processes and technologies across the organization.
