The design of fixtures for exhibits, displays, movies, museums, or tradeshows usually follows a specific methodology that combines principles of product and interior design. Applied knowledge in this industry includes things like artifact conservation, digitization guidelines, fabrication standards, museum practices, along with digital tools used to create renderings, CNC files, and fabrication drawings
Recreating real objects is often an iterative and time-consuming process. 3D scanners make this task easier by capturing objects as point clouds which are then converted into polygonal meshes. Multiple techniques like NURB patch editing, decimation, sub-D generation, T-splines, cross sections, and color comparisons can be used to produce CAD models that are used in manufacturing or simulation requiring a high level of accuracy and tolerances.
In the world of advanced manufacturing, quality assurance begins at the design stage. A widespread trend for automotive, biotechnology and high-end consumer products is the use of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) to create digital production drawings that incorporate manufacturing and design information into a digital twin. We can help you understand the process, concepts, and software tools to create this type of CAD model.
Most industrial fabrication processes require the use of 2D and 3D toolpath to convert surface geometry into G-Code used to cut files, carve materials, or 3D print an object. We can show you various digital tools and software packages used to generate toolpaths, vectors and raster graphics, used in manufacturing, advertising, publishing and fine arts.
