Kolhapur-ME Design Office Called an expert CARPENTER Produce a model (check volume etc.) Sample the model and produce a data- set
Kolhapur(contd.)
Connect these sample- points into a faceting Do mechanical analysis Send to Saki Naka
Saki Naka-Die Manufacturer Take the input faceted solid. Produce Tool Paths Produce Die
Lucknow-Soaps Use the die to manufacture soaps Package and transport to points of sale
Problems began… The die degraded in Lucknow The Carpenter died in Kolhapur Saki Naka upgraded its CNC machine The wooden model eroded But The Drawings were there!
So Then…. The same process was repeated but… The shape was different! The customer was suspicious and sales dropped!!!
The Soap Alive !
What was lacking was… A Reproducible Solid- Model. Surfaces defn Tactile/point sampling Volume computation Analysis
The Solid-Modeller Modeller Operations Representations
The mechanical solid-modeller Operations Volume Unions/Intersections Extrude holes/bosses Ribs, fillets, blends etc. Representation Faceted Solid Cloud of Points STEPP Boundary-Rep (b-rep).sldprt

Advanced Surface Modelling Human Cortex Manual Surface Sampling,/ model consists of 24,000 planer facets
Advanced Surface Modelling (Contd.) The above surface model was created by using the software tool (Nuages) by Bernard Geiger Voxel based re-construction shows the surface decimated to about vertices and triangles
