  2. Engineering drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_drawing

    The views of the 3D object are like the panels of a box that envelopes the object, and the panels pivot as they open up flat into the plane of the drawing. [6] Thus the left view is placed on the left and the top view on the top; and the features closest to the front of the 3D object will appear closest to the front view in the drawing.

  3. Boundary representation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_representation

    Notice that the surface areas are stitched together. For broader coverage of this topic, see Computer representation of surfaces . In solid modeling and computer-aided design , boundary representation (often abbreviated B-rep or BREP ) is a method for representing a 3D shape [ 1 ] by defining the limits of its volume .

  4. Parallel curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_curve

    Thus, the general offset surface shares the same tangent plane and normal with and (()). That aligns with the nature of envelopes. That aligns with the nature of envelopes. We now consider the Weingarten equations for the shape operator , which can be written as ∂ n → = − ∂ x → S {\displaystyle \partial {\vec {n}}=-\partial {\vec {x}}S} .

  5. Multiview orthographic projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiview_orthographic...

    An auxiliary view or pictorial, is an orthographic view that is projected into any plane other than one of the six primary views. [3] These views are typically used when an object has a surface in an oblique plane. By projecting into a plane parallel with the oblique surface, the true size and shape of the surface are shown.

  6. Technical drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_drawing

    View of a CAD model of a four-cylinder inline crankshaft with pistons. A 3D CAD system (such as KeyCreator, Autodesk Inventor, or SolidWorks) first produces the geometry of the part; the technical drawing comes from user defined views of that geometry. Any orthographic, projected or sectioned view is created by the software.

  7. SolidWorks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SolidWorks

    SolidWorks (stylized as SOLIDWORKS) is a brand within Dassault Systèmes that develops and markets software for solid modeling computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided engineering (CAE), 3D CAD design, collaboration, analysis, and product data management. [2] The company introduced one of the first 3D CAD applications designed to run on a ...

  8. Axonometric projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axonometric_projection

    Classification of Axonometric projection and some 3D projections "Axonometry" means "to measure along the axes". In German literature, axonometry is based on Pohlke's theorem, such that the scope of axonometric projection could encompass every type of parallel projection, including not only orthographic projection (and multiview projection), but also oblique projection.

  9. Freeform surface modelling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeform_surface_modelling

    Freeform surface modelling is a technique for engineering freeform surfaces with a CAD or CAID system.. The technology has encompassed two main fields. Either creating aesthetic surfaces (class A surfaces) that also perform a function; for example, car bodies and consumer product outer forms, or technical surfaces for components such as gas turbine blades and other fluid dynamic engineering ...
