3D-CADシステムを利用した自動レリーフ製作の検討

抄録

Recently, the measurement technology using image processing is used for the inspection of defective products or the precise positioning system in machining processes. Also, the use of the NC machine tools and 3D-CAD systems has increased in the field of machine design and production. This study attempts to develop the automatic manufacturing system of the relief board using the image processing system. The system makes the cloud of three dimensional point data based on the brightness value of a photo image. The point data are converted to the surface data and solid data using 3D CAD system, and lastly the processing data for NC machine system using CAM software. The relief manufacturing is realized in the above procedure. We used Visual Basic 6.0 to produce a computer programming for the system of image processing and data conversion. In addition, we used Solidworks 2009 for 3D-CAD system, Dimension BST 768 for 3D-printer, and NV 5000 a/40 for machining center.
