Schott System Offers Online 3D Modification Tools Video
 GILCHING,
Germany, Feb 19, 2008 - Ideal for companies requiring a neutral platform for
the modification of 3D CAD data, German based CAD/CAM developer Schott
System GmbH are promoting their latest suite of 3D modification tools in a
new online video. Supplied as standard within their design solution
‘Pictures by PC’, these tools are providing companies with a greater level
of 3D interoperability through the reuse of 3D data from other CAD systems.
Direct Modeling
Distancing themselves from the typical parametric based method of
modeling, where each individual step of the construction process is recorded
in a part ‘feature history’, Schott System are instead supplying a new range
of ‘Direct’ modeling tools. A method of construction recently adopted by a
number of other CAD systems, but one that has actually been promoted by
Schott System for almost 15 years now, direct modeling enables the instant
modification of individual faces on any 3D solid part. By being able to
quickly and easily modify 3D models from other CAD systems in this way,
without requiring the original construction ‘feature history’, companies are
more readily able to maximize on the reuse of the 3D data throughout the
entire product life cycle.
3D Feature Recognition
To accompany this, Schott System have also developed a range of 3D
feature recognition tools to aid in the instant selection of faces requiring
modification. In effect providing the ability to analyse a 3D model for it’s
component features, the 3D recognition helps to automatically find multiple
features such as arrayed holes and pockets. Also by entering specific search
criteria, such as a face radius, the tools enable the ‘defeaturing’ of a
model, where complex forms such as fillets can be automatically removed to
leave a far simpler model, ideal for facility management and technical
documentation.
