3D Digitizing

anonymous@undisclosed.example.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 14 Aug 2020 22:48:31 +0000

3D Digitizing The tools of 3D digitizers can be helpful for reverse engineering. With a digitizer, you can generate a computer model from a physical object by sampling 3D coordinates one at a time to create input curves for surfacing commands. Since each surfacing command requires specific input curves, an experienced Rhino modeler must decide the best surface creation tools to use to duplicate an object's shape. With a 3D digitizer, you can sample the points needed to create the required input…

A synopsis of the FDM process What is FDM? FDM stands for Fused Deposition Modeling, a name invented in the late 80’s as the first rapid prototyping processes were being developed. It consists of building a model additively layer by layer by depositing a thin filament of melted plastic via a precisely calibrated orifice mounted on a computer controlled XY movement. The width of the deposited plastic line is fine, so the mass of the model is built up in many successive passes.

NURBS Surfaces Concepts " Summary: Basic concepts of NURBS surface geometry" One of the main geometry concepts that comes up often when modeling with Rhino is NURBS curves and surfaces. Non-Uniform Rational Basis Spline (NURBS) is an accurate mathematical representation of curves and surfaces. The shape of the surface is defined by a number of control points and the degree of that surface in each one of the two directions (u- and v-directions).
