  • "How to Prepare Your Solid Model for Manufacturing
    How to Prepare Your Solid Model for Rapid Machining by Montie Roland, Montie Design, [email protected] Solid modelers have allowed us, as mechanical engineers and industrial designers, to design better products, quicker. Toolmakers now create complex tools directly from solid models of the end product. Clients can view visualizations of products before the first prototype is made. One thing that has not changed however, is how most machine shops receive design information. The standard line is “send me a drawing and I’ll get you a quote.” Solid models are very precise. Solid modeling programs allows us as engineers, and industrial designers, to take design intent and turn it into a design that can be communicated to others. Why should your local machine shop not be able to accept your solid model and make you a part? What can be that complicated? Many local machine shops should be able take your solid model and give you back a functioning, accurate part. We, as engineers and designers, just need to make sure that we give them all the information that they need. They, as shop owners and operators, need to have the software and skills necessary to work with the digital file that you send. Traditional Process to Source Machined Parts The traditional path from concept to part looks like this 1) product concept is developed by the industrial designer who generates ideations and renderings 2) engineer works with the designer to understand the design intent of the concept 3) engineer translates the concept into a cad model(s) 4) engineer creates

An emerging technique, which has the potential to considerably improve the design process, is multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO). MDO requires a concurrent and parametric design framework. Powerful tools in the quest for such frameworks are design automation (DA) and knowledge based engineering (KBE). The knowledge required is captured and stored as rules and facts to finally be triggered upon request. A crucial challenge is how and what type of knowledge should be stored in order to realize generic DA frameworks. In the endeavor to address the mentioned challenges, this thesis proposes High Level CAD templates (HLCts) for geometry manipulation and High Level Analysis templates (HLAts) for concept evaluations. The proposed methods facilitate modular concept generation and evaluation, where the modules are first assembled and then evaluated automatically. The basics can be compared to parametric LEGO® blocks containing a set of design and analysis parameters.

  • Openscad Vs. Freecad
    OpenSCAD vs. FreeCAD To Code or Not to Code Alain Pelletier via YouTube) OpenSCAD and FreeCAD are both parametric computer-aided design (CAD) programs used for 2D and 3D modeling. Going further, they’re both open-source and free for anyone to download. Users can see, study, and improve their code, whether just for themselves or for the community as a whole. Although the two platforms take you to essentially the same 3D modeling destination, they take different ways to get there. OpenSCAD is a script-only based modeler and uses its own description language. That means its UI only shows code and doesn’t have literal representations of your object. FreeCAD, on the other hand, uses a more traditional CAD approach, with you building your object by directly manipulating the visual model. These and further aspects lend each of the two programs unique strengths and weaknesses. Let’s take a look a the details in order to determine what they are. OpenSCAD OpenSCAD) OpenSCAD uses constructive solid geometry to create CAD objects. As we mentioned above, it does this solely through manipulating the code of its own descriptive language. That’s why it’s advertised as a programmer-oriented solid-modeling tool; although anyone can use it, its interface will be most familiar to those who work with code. Through OpenSCAD’s script, users indicate what basic geometric shapes (for example a sphere or a cone) to use, the parameters of those shapes, and how those shapes relate to each other. Together, all those factors add up to the same type of 2D or 3D model you can make with any CAD software.

A CALL TO ARMS (AND CONTRIBUTORS) "The future exists first in the imagination, then in the will, then in reality." - Mike Muuss Welcome to BRL-CAD! Whether you are a developer, documenter, graphic artist, academic, or someone who just wants to be involved in a unique open source project, BRL-CAD has a place for you. Our contributors come from all over the world and use their diverse backgrounds and talents to help maintain and enhance one of the oldest computer-aided design (CAD) packages used in government and industry today. WHAT IS BRL-CAD? BRL-CAD (pronounced be-are-el-cad) is a powerful, cross-platform, open source solid modeling system that includes interactive three- dimensional (3D) solid geometry editing, high-performance ray tracing support for rendering and geometric analysis, network-distributed framebuffer support, image and signal-processing tools, path tracing and photon mapping support for realistic image synthesis, a system performance analysis benchmark suite, an embedded scripting interface, and libraries for robust high-performance geometric representation and analysis. For more than two decades, BRL-CAD has been the primary solid modeling CAD package used by the U.S. government to help model military systems. T he package has also been used in a wide range of military, academic, and industrial applications, including the design and analysis of vehicles, mechanical parts, and architecture. Other uses have included radiation dose planning, medical visualization, terrain modeling, constructive solid geometry (CSG), modeling concepts, computer graphics education and system performance benchmark testing.
