Placement of Axial Points in Augmented Designsmain topic
Placement of Axial Points in Augmented DesignsMinitab augments (or adds points to) the design using the axial points shown below. Each added point is half way between a vertex and the center of the design.

By augmenting a design, you can get a better picture of what happens on the interior of the design, instead of just relying on points on the edges.
