Schott
Systeme Showcase Advanced 3D Modelling
|
|
Highlighting one of
several advanced 3D modelling tools included within their CAD CAM software
‘Pictures by PC 3.2’, German developer Schott Systeme have published a
new video outlining how ‘3D Bending’ can help customers in the fields
of mechanical, concept and jewelry design.

Advanced
Deformation
Differing to the usual
modelling tools found within 3D CAD software, such as extrude, rotate and
skinning, 3D bending forms part of a set of advanced ‘deformation’
functions. Simple but very powerful, the user needs only enter a bend
‘radius’ and/or bend ‘angle’, in addition to the bend direction
and neutral axis.

Real World Applications
Obvious applications for such a tool include the creation of sheet metal
parts, with the bending of flanges and lips. However Schott Systeme are
using their latest CAD CAM ‘Tricks n Tips’ video to showcase some more
imaginative uses of the bending tool. Featured examples include jewelry
design and the transformation of intricate 2D bracelet and ring designs
into 3D scultpted forms. In addition, concept designers will also get a
glimse of how such a tool can help in the initial stages of product
design.
