39: 3D Hardcopy: Converting Virtual Reality to Physical Models
Tuesday, Half Day, 8:30 am - noon
Room 404
Traditionally,
computer graphics has rendered 3D virtual objects in 2D,
but the latest 3D rapid-prototyping technologies can quickly
and easily transform a 3D computer model into a physical
3D model. In this course, attendees learn about commercial
rapid-prototyping systems and promising new technologies.
The course also covers software techniques used to transform
a VR model into realizable geometry and a process plan
for a rapid-prototyping system. Speakers present case
studies from a variety of application areas.
Prerequisites
Some familiarity with 3D geometric modeling concepts.
Topics
Overview and comparison of commercial 3D rapid-prototyping
systems and processes still under development. Software
techniques, interchange issues, and process planning.
Case studies, from visualization models to working prototype
parts.
