Making 3D Solids from Surface Data

Recently I was looking at some surfacing operations and I thought it would make an interesting case study to complete the entire workflow of building a 3D solid model from a set of surfaces.  My idea...

It’s Easier Using 3D Solids

In my last post I constructed a thin walled 3D body of a teapot from surface data using surfacing operations.  Whilst the code I used worked it was more complicated than I expected when I started, so I...

Rendering Graphical Data from 3D InterOp with HOOPS Visualize

Recently I was asked by a customer how to render a 3D visualization model translated from a CAD file by Graphical 3D InterOp (see ref 1 below.)  The customer is using HOOPS so the quick answer was to...

One-Way Associativity for 3D CAD Analysis Applications

Analysis applications often use solid models generated by CAD systems as their input; for example, the structural analysis of an engineering model. The user of the system applies a set of loads and...

Calculating the Geometry for Bevel Cuts using Water Jet or Laser Cutters

IntroductionAs water jet and laser cutters become more sophisticated, the geometries that they are able to cut are also increasing in complexity.  In recent years, the ability to angle cutting heads...

Emergence of STEP AP 242

In a past blog, The Impact of Model-Based Definition (MBD) on 3D Modeling and Manufacturing, we discussed the growing role of MBD. To recap: although 3D modeling has been the standard in design for...

Healing and Preserving 3D Model Intent

Part and parcel with model-based engineering is model translation. Because the model is now the specification, accurate translation from one system to another becomes essential. But even if a model is...
