CG Modelling Techniques in Toy Production
Ben Martin
Abstract:
No matter how good the visualisation is within a CG system there is no substitute for a physical representation of the model. This has become clear in Engineering Product Design where the use of 3D CAD systems is now commonplace and model making or prototyping from the CAD model forms a major stage in the design to manufacture process, not only to evaluate fit and function but also the aesthetic form of a product. It is interesting that in many areas of Product Design the traditional approach of creating a hand crafted model for early design evaluation has been replaced by generating a physical model (through a variety of processes) from the evolving 3D CAD model. This has many advantages, as the CAD model is now the master representation for a variety of downstream processes.
