Three-dimensional design technology seriously make life easier for manufacturers of complex industrial products. Not only do they allow you to save paper during the creation of project documentation, but also allow to simulate the behavior of products in a virtual environment using digital models and to create large-scale models for the assessment of design and technological needs.
For example, the British Toyota representation for the purposes of exhibition and advertising companies commissioned experts LaserCut Works and Scales and Models manufacture a full-size layout Lexus IS sedan from sheets of corrugated cardboard 10 mm thick. Automaker gave the order implementing a digital model of the car, and contractors have divided it into slices and individual parts, then to 1700 sheets of cardboard cut out the desired elements using laser equipment with numerical control. For each element sticking took 10 minutes, since the adhesive was dry. A team of five people working on creating models took three months.
Lexus IS model is made of cardboard can be called active: a metal frame mounted on the motor allows the car to move. Steering wheel controls the wheels, doors open, there is even a functioning lighting.
The use of three-dimensional models to create structural elements of cars production is not the newest idea.
Adidas company , meanwhile, demonstrated the possibilities of individualization of athletic shoes by creating the bottom of shoe, taking into account the specific structural features of the foot holder. In the future, according to the manufacturer, active lifestyles can order sports shoes , passing the scanning procedure foot shape and characteristics . The bottom part of the shoe will be created in the so-called "3D-printer." Related Products :
