Drafting has changed over the years. Now advanced technologies have increased the efficiency of drafting. Computers and new resources have made drafting easier, better, and less time-consuming. New techniques like rapid prototyping, B.I.M, sustainability, and L.E.E.D has changed the face of drafting. Instead of a group of people sitting around a table and drawing out the drafts people can now work independently with a computer designed for drafting. Green buildings and “green” technology has made living easier and better. Rapid prototyping is a group of techniques used to quickly fabricate a scale model of a physical part or assembly using three dimensional computer aided design (CAD) data. Construction of the par or assembly is usually done …show more content…
B.I.M stands for Building Information Modeling, intelligent model-based process that provides insight to help you plan, design, construct, and mange buildings and infrastructure. B.I.M changes how buildings, infrastructure, and utilities are planned, designed, built, and managed. Autodesk B.I.M solutions help turn information into insight and deliver business value at every step in the process. B.I.M incorporates major elements of estimating, cost and project management. As a result, the B.I.M computer model is a living representation of the actual structure at any given time. B.I.M is more than drawings- it is a date repository for building design, construction, and maintenance information combined in one convenient model to share. The benefits of B.I.M are that there are reduced changes during construction. Reduced conflicts during construction and improved construction. Improved collective understanding of design intent reduces claims, disputes, and conflicts. B.I.M provides the capability to design efficient “Green Buildings.” The future of B.I.M will only make B.I.M better, the Information of B.I.M will be utilized more, designers, constructors and building owners will leverage the information that is right in from of them to add value to the building they are producing. Room and furniture, fixture, and equipment validation between …show more content…
To receive an L.E.E.D certification, building projects satisfy prerequisites and earn points to achieve different levels of certification. L.E.E.D was by the U.S Green Building Council (USGBC). Since its inception in 1998, L.E.E.D has grown to encompass more than 14,000 projects in the U.S. L.E.E.D was created because USGBC had a vision that buildings and communities will regenerate and sustain the health and vitality of all life within a generation, USGBC’s mission was to transform the way buildings and communities are designed, built, and operated, enabling an environmentally and socially responsible, healthy, and prosperous environment that improves the quality of life. There are four certification levels for L.E.E.D construction- certified, silver, gold, and platinum that correspond to the number of credits accrued in five green design categories: sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, and indoor environmentally quality. L.E.E.D is a reward system that comes with certification, such as access to expert technical support; wide-ranging marketing benefits, the unbiased, transparent assurance that the project team cut no corners in the marking or updating of a Class A green
During concept design and developed design stages, BIM technology and processes were used to develop and establish building performance and the basis of design in accordance with the client’s standards. The models were required to be interoperable with analytic tools for, including but not limited to, building envelope, orientation, daylighting, energy consumption, Building Management System (BMS), renewable energy strategies, life cycle cost analysis, and spatial requirements (Andrian X Sanchez 2015). Thus the main stakeholders of the PCH project established a series of BIM-related objectives:
CAD-CAM stands for computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) and it is used by dentists and dental laboratories to provide patients with milled ceramic crowns, bridges, and etc. Many times dental CAD/CAM is used to fabricate abutments for dental implants, used to replace missing teeth. The dental CAD/CAM technology have improved over the years. Today dental restorations are better fitting because of CAD/CAM. They are also more durable and more natural looking (multi-colored and translucent, similar to natural teeth) than previously machined restorations.
A rapid prototype is defined as a 3D model generated rapidly with the help of Computer Aided Design (CAD) drawing. The process of creating such a masterpiece requires a number of prerequisites to be fulfilled on the onset of creating the 3D model. The various portions of the model are built layer after layer. The processes involved in the creation process include solid ground curing; selective laser sintering, fused deposition modelling, and stereo lithography.
CAD/CAM technology an innovation in the production of dental prosthesis. CAD/CAM is a technological advancement in dentistry, the production of dental prosthesis can be done at the dental office instead of dental laboratories. Going to get a restoration for example a crown can be a long process which requires a pair of visits to the dental office. The process may be going to get the tooth prepared, impression, and placing of the temporary crown. The second visit requires cementing the crown and adjusting the bite. In contrast the CAD/CAM technology can provide a quicker method. Today you can visit a dental office that has a CAD/CAM Cerec machine to get your restoration fabricated and placed in one single day. This advancement in dental technology
The aim of this Literature Review is to gain an understanding of what Building Information Modelling (BIM) is, what SMEs are, establish the importance of BIM, why BIM should be implemented and to explore the key issues associated with the adoption and implementation of BIM by SMEs in a live construction environment.
As you get older, the risk to get CAD becomes greater. Men are generally at greater risk to develop CAD. If your family has a history of heart disease, you have a greater risk of having CAD. If you smoke, you will have a greater chance of having CAD. Your blood pressure also affects your chances of getting CAD. Diabetes and Obesity also raise your chance of developing CAD.
LEED, also known as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, “is a rating system devised by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) to evaluate the environmental performance of a building and encourage market transformation towards sustainable design”. The building has a LEED-EB Certification. People installed high-efficiency lighting systems. The purpose was to improve its controls to reduce the building’s energy consumption. Overall the building uses less water and energy which helps them save money.

To have a thriving career as a graphic designer, you need to diversify your income sources. A single client is never a stable way to earn a living because it is always possible for one client to just disappear. By using business tips, diversifying your client base and using creative marketing ideas, graphic designers can build up their business and make a decent living.
Before people used tools to draw something they went to what we call now a “General Contractor” with an idea and he had to come up with the rest. After a while the contractors wanted more. Just an idea wasn’t enough for them. Their clients sometimes wouldn’t like what they had built for them. So eventually the contractors asked
Building information modeling is a coordinated set of processes which is supported by technology for digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of places. It is a process that relies on information rich models to help owners and Architectural/Engineering/Construction (AEC) service providers to more efficiently plan, design, construct and manage building and infrastructure projects. Building information modeling is now becoming more popular and transforming the global AEC industry. The usage of BIM now is on high rise because it provides greater
There are many tools that someone wanting to go into carpentry needs to get started. But with the technology in today's world they come out with new tools pretty well daily so someone will never be able to have the latest greatest tools. The right tools for the job are crucial for a carpenter to make perfect work. One simple but important tool is a simple tape measure. Without the tape measure a carpenter would never know how long they need to make the piece of furniture. Next is another simple tool: a pencil. Without a pencil a carpenter wouldn't know where to cut a board. With the pencil the carpenter can mark the board for cutting. One quote from a carpenter is “Law of the Workshop: Any tool, when dropped, will roll to the least accessible corner.” The author of that poem is
Though drafting may look like just drawing up plans, there is more to it than just that. Drafting has evolved from just hand drawing to computer drawing and the programs they use is still being updated to
Due to the environmental impacts of the built environment, there is a developing understanding of the need to improve the sustainability, energy efficiency and the total performance of new and existing buildings. Thus, the construction industry is required to develop its processes to meet the progressively challenging performance targets to encourage and secure sustainable investments, mitigate the impacts on the environment and satisfy buildings occupiers (BSRIA 2014a).
In this present day, buildings have changed and evolved rapidly throughout its time. A building is not merely just a structure with roof and walls but have also become a self-sustaining integrated structure where it provides noteworthy benefits to the building occupants and end user with the use of ever-growing technology and clever design. With the increase in popularity of intelligent building, many building owners seek into this concept of integrating technology with building structure as a long term solution to maximize the efficiency and productivity from the occupants. Similarly with the current development and advancement in information and communication technology, it is only natural that these attributes have greatly influenced the rapid change and innovation in building integration system and structure.
