Parametric Design With Hybrid Modeling

摘要

Over the past decade, digital shape sampling and processing (DSSP) has evolved to complement CAD and product development with the power of 3D imaging. Since 1996, Geomagic software has helped convert 3D scan data into digital models for design, analysis, manufacturing, and visualization. Traditional CAD models are created by defining a construction sequence of 2D and 3D entities (features). CAD operators create new designs by specifying the parameters of these entities to control the resultant shape of the object. The completed parametric model offers great flexibility for generating multiple variations, enabling design iterations and rapid experimentation with form and function. However, reconstructing a complex surface can be a struggle to balance time, effort, and accuracy.
