  2. STL (file format) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STL_(file_format)

    STL is a file format native to the stereolithography CAD software created by 3D Systems. [3] [4] [5] Chuck Hull, the inventor of stereolithography and 3D Systems’ founder, reports that the file extension is an abbreviation for stereolithography, [6] although it is also referred to as standard triangle language or standard tessellation language.

  3. Constructive solid geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructive_solid_geometry

    Constructive solid geometry (CSG; formerly called computational binary solid geometry) is a technique used in solid modeling. Constructive solid geometry allows a modeler to create a complex surface or object by using Boolean operators to combine simpler objects, [ 1 ] potentially generating visually complex objects by combining a few primitive ...

  4. Solid modeling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_modeling

    Engineering solid models are built mostly with sketcher-based features; 2-D sketches that are swept along a path to become 3-D. These may be cuts, or extrusions for example. Design work on components is usually done within the context of the whole product using assembly modeling methods. An assembly model incorporates references to individual ...

  5. ACIS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACIS

    The 3D ACIS Modeler (ACIS) is a geometric modeling kernel developed by Spatial Corporation (formerly Spatial Technology), part of Dassault Systèmes.ACIS is used by software developers in industries such as computer-aided design, computer-aided manufacturing, computer-aided engineering, architecture, engineering and construction, coordinate-measuring machine, 3D animation, and shipbuilding.

  6. Calculix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculix

    A Python library, pycalculix, [10] was written to automate the creation of CalculiX models in the Python programming language. The library provides Python access to building, loading, meshing, solving, and querying CalculiX results for 2D models. Pycalculix was written by Justin Black. Examples and tutorials are available on the pycalculix site ...

  7. Assembly modelling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assembly_modelling

    The designer generally has access to models that others are working on concurrently. For example, several people may be designing one machine that has many parts. New parts are added to an assembly model as they are created. Each designer has access to the assembly model, while a work in progress, and while working in their own parts.

  8. Mesh generation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesh_generation

    The idea uses either of Laplace or the Poisson's equation and especially treating the parts which controls elliptic behavior. The initial values are given as the coordinates of the point along the surface η = 0 {\displaystyle \eta =0} and the advancing the solutions to the outer surface of the object satisfying the boundary conditions along ξ ...

  9. Factory method pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factory_method_pattern

    The factory method design pattern solves problems such as: How can an object's subclasses redefine its subsequent and distinct implementation? The pattern involves creation of a factory method within the superclass that defers the object's creation to a subclass's factory method.
