Drill Surfacing
The Project
Organic form modelling and redesign university project aiming to exploit advanced 3D techniques. The aim of this assignment was to generate a high-quality assembly of an existing product using surface modelling techniques, which are based on 3D scan data of that existing product (power drill).
The Problem
Replicated CAD based off of existing products can often be inaccurate and not true to the original and desired form. New methods to resolve these inaccuracies need to be explored. Photogrammetry can be applied to accurately capture a real object. This data can then be used as a basis to accurately surface an identical CAD model.
Data Collection
n order to generate a 3D model of the drill, images of the drill were taken and imported into a photogrammetry software. this software generated a mesh which could then be imported into Solidworks and provide inspiration for the replicated version.
Surfacing
Solidworks surfacing tools were used to generate the drill shape. Analysis tools such as zebra stripes, curvature analyser and curvature combs were used to check the quality of the model. The finished CAD model was imported into Keyshot software for generating high resolution renderings of the final form.
