  2. Bill of materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_of_materials

    An example of a BOM for a mechanical assembly (in German) A bill of materials or product structure (sometimes bill of material, BOM or associated list) is a list of the raw materials, sub-assemblies, intermediate assemblies, sub-components, parts, and the quantities of each needed to manufacture an end product.

  3. Kit-of-parts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kit-of-parts

    Kit-of-parts construction is a special subset of pre-fabrication that not only attempts to achieve flexibility in assembly and efficiency in manufacture, but also by definition requires a capacity for demountability, disassembly, and reuse. Kit-of-parts structures can be assembled and taken apart in a variety of ways like a construction toy.

  4. Part number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Part_number

    Example of a part number for a microcontroller. A part number (often abbreviated PN, P/N, part no., or part #) is an identifier of a particular part design or material used in a particular industry. Its purpose is to simplify reference that item. A part number unambiguously identifies a part design within a single corporation, sometimes across ...

  5. SolidWorks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SolidWorks

    SolidWorks is a solid modeler, and utilizes a parametric feature-based approach which was initially developed by PTC (Creo/Pro-Engineer) to create 3D CAD models and assemblies. The software uses the Parasolid modeling kernel. [26] Parameters refer to constraints whose values determine the shape or geometry of the model or assembly. Parameters ...

  6. Retroreflector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retroreflector

    A set of three mutually perpendicular reflective surfaces, placed to form the internal corner of a cube, work as a retroreflector. The three corresponding normal vectors of the corner's sides form a basis (x, y, z) in which to represent the direction of an arbitrary incoming ray, [a, b, c].

  7. Distributed Bragg reflector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_Bragg_reflector

    Time-resolved simulation of a pulse reflecting from a Bragg mirror. A distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) is a reflector used in waveguides, such as optical fibers.It is a structure formed from multiple layers of alternating materials with different refractive index, or by periodic variation of some characteristic (such as height) of a dielectric waveguide, resulting in periodic variation in the ...

  8. Beam splitter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beam_splitter

    Dichroic mirrors are used in some ellipsoidal reflector spotlights to split off unwanted infrared (heat) radiation, and as output couplers in laser construction. A third version of the beam splitter is a dichroic mirrored prism assembly which uses dichroic optical coatings to divide an incoming light beam into a number of spectrally distinct ...

  9. Design for assembly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_for_assembly

    The Walkman line was designed for "vertical assembly", in which parts are inserted in straight-down moves only. The Sony SMART assembly system, used to assemble Walkman-type products, is a robotic system for assembling small devices designed for vertical assembly. [citation needed] The IBM Proprinter used design for automated assembly (DFAA ...
