| cartesian coordinate system | a rectangular coordinate system created by three mutually perpendicular coordinate axes, commonly labeled X, Y, and Z |
| chamfer | a small angled surface formed between two surfaces |
| circle | the set of all points in a plane at a given distance from a given point in the plane |
| circumscribe | to draw a figure around another, touching it at points but not cutting it |
| counterbore | a cylindrical recess around a hole, usually to receive a bolt head or nut |
| countersink | a conical-shaped recess around a hole, often used to receive a tapered screw |
| cylinder | a solid composed of two congruent circles in parallel planes, their interiors, and all the line segments parallel to the axis with endpoints on the two circles |
| diameter | a straight line passing from side to side through the center of a circle or sphere |
| ellipse | a regular oval shape, traced by a point moving in a plane so that the sum of its distances from two other points is constant |
| extrusion | a manufacturing process that forces material through a shaped opening |
| geometric constraint | constant, non-numerical relationships between the parts of a geometric figure |
| inscribe | to draw a figure within another so that their boundaries touch but do not intersect |
