Driven by the race to shorten ‘time to market’ full exploitation of the benefits of using the 3D model as a master which can be used to enable the production of product data specifications (drawings), rapid prototyping, computer aided manufacture (CAM), computer aided inspection or verification (CAI) and finite-element analysis (FEA).
There are many examples of ‘paperless manufacture’, i.e., a product being manufactured from a model, by CAM, without the aid of drawings or any supplementary specification. In this application, the accuracy and uncertainty of the manufacturing process is known and ...
