Naming

Replimat is divided into vitamins, materials, transformations, parts, techniques, projects, and lifecycles. Names for patterns in each of these categories follow conventions noted here:

• A name should function as a label for a single pattern within it's category.
• A name should be unique within it's category.
• A name should function with minimal modification (for instance: replacing spaces with underscores) as an OpenSCAD and OpenJSCAD function identifier.
• A name should be plural, to enable project-wide object relational mapping efforts (more details here).
