TRIDIMENSIONAL PROTOTYPING SYSTEM AND METHOD OF COMPLEX UNDERGROUND GEOLOGICAL STRUCTURES AND/OR UNDERGROUND RESERVOIRS

摘要

The present invention relates to a tridimensional prototyping system (S) of complex underground geological structures and/or underground reservoirs, comprising at least an acquisition unit, for acquiring data relating to the physical structure of at least a hydrocarbon-mineralised underground geological structure or at least an underground reservoir from an outer scanning device; a processing or filtering unit, operatively connected to the acquisition unit, for removing superfluous data from said data in output from said acquisition unit; a conversion unit, operationally linked to said filtering unit, in order to convert said data in output from said filtering unit into a format compatible with an external tridimensional mechanical modelling module and for sending said data into said external tridimensional mechanical modelling module which sends final printable data in output; and a logic control unit linked to said acquisition unit, processing or filtering unit and conversion unit, which coordinates the data exchange among said acquisition unit, filtering unit, conversion unit and said external tridimensional mechanical modelling module in order to send said final printable data to an external tridimensional printer for printing the tridimensional prototype, wherein the tridimensional printer realises said tridimensional physical prototype using plastic powders and/or chalk powders and/or silicon polymers. The present invention also relates to a tridimensional prototyping method associated to the system.
