Hi, I'm trying to make divots along the curve of this shape (so a curved hole all along that curve, to let things slot in and slide along), and my idea was to make a sketch plane offset from the face of the shape inside the body. Then,...
or an object, created in a specialized software. It represents a physical body using a collection of points in 3D space, connected by various geometric entities such as triangles, lines, curved surfaces, and so on. In some cases, a 3D model can convey an object’s size, shape and texture...
Our engineer, Tim Downing, CAN tell me however that the textures look great on curved surfaces in Origin, whether it is a positive or negative curve, and are great for adding small details and hiding layer lines, as we've seen with other technologies. Orientation and Support are intimately ...
exporting aVRMLfrom SOLIDWORKS brings those body and face colors into GrabCAD Print for printing on a Stratasys J750/Connex3. Any textures or decals are still lost like in the picture above, but sometimes face color is enough to capture simple intent, like when using colored sunken text or s...
Starting with the suitability to create specific product geometry, solid or surface modelers like SolidWorks and Rhinoceros are great at geometric shapes and smooth, tightly controlled surfaces. They will let the designer numerically define all feature dimensions. Polygonal or mesh modelers offer some pa...
I was also wondering if you are doing this operation in AutoCAD or in a vertical product? I would suggest that you try a trial version of Civil 3D to see if it can create the surfaces with a greater degree of accuracy. Please post additional comments or results ...
thermosetting and thermoforming. The rollers are almost exclusively employed in the graphics printing industry and are especially useful for ink applications on curved surfaces. Even within ordinary office printers, it’s almost impossible to open up a door, and not encounter a rubber roller or two...
These improved methods focused on better ways of describing and representing surfaces. In early 1960, Pierre Bézier developed a series of mathematical techniques that described curved surfaces of cars. At that time, Bezier worked for Renault. His work led to the eventual development of Bezier curve...
AMF stores information similarly to theXMLstandard and is simple, scalable, and backward and future compatible. The format uses triangle meshes to describe surfaces, whether curved or non-planar edges, on 3D surfaces. Colors are specified using RGBA (red, green, blue, and alpha channels) values...
