3D printing a method of converting 3D CAD data into a physical object, by ‘adding’ material, rather than cutting. Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Key (the key colour is usually black) are used in commercial printing systems, as they allow a greater range of colours and appear more natural. Red, Green, Blue is used in electronic displays and works by mixing the three colours to generate secondary and tertiary colours. Dots-Per-Inch is a method of describing the resolution for printing. The higher the number, the sharper and better quality the image is. PPI Overprint Additive colour Subtractive colour Pixels-Per-Inch is a method of describing the resolution of a screen. The higher the number, the sharper and better quality the images can be on a screen. Printing beyond the required region to ensure the layout will appear edge-to-edge printed after being cut. When colours are added together through an electronic display, the result will be white, due to the light emitting rather than being reflected by the sun/room light. When colours are added together through a print, the result will be black, due to the light being absorbed rather than reflecting. Screen printing WMV/AVI/Quicktime Motion-capture Stop frame A cost-effective method of creating large prints of moderate volume. Typically used for advertising banners or T-shirts. WMV, AVI and Quicktime are all movie formats. A method capturing physical data about the movement of a person, animal or object and applying it to a 3D CAD model. A method of animation, relying on shooting individual frames of a graphic and combining them. Typically 25 frames are required for 1 second of animation. Motion tweening STL CAM Tool path generation A method of animating 2D or 3D CAD, by specifying the start and end positions of a graphic, and allowing the computer to plot the animation. Standard Tessellation Language — 3D file format used to manufacture 3D CAD models in 3D printers or other CAM equipment. Computer Aided Manufacture is technology used to take 2D or 3D CAD data and machine the shapes or forms from a material. Software used to plan the movement of cutting or shaping tools in CAM systems.
