3D MODELING OF FURNITURE AFTER AN IMPORTED MODEL

Abstract

The research presents various methods of 3D designing and modeling in SolidWorks using imported models, such as photos mostly. Should the design be made for unique furniture pieces, special orders or restoration works then the original model must be strictly followed. There are various methods of designing according to available shapes and models. The research develops the process of reconstruction of a church seat having as start point its image in a jpg. file. Most of the geometrical and dimensional elements can be reproduced at their scale, but the styling detail of the railing post has to be copied (reconstructed) entirely. The process of reconstruction will start gradually from a relevant image of the church seat in order to reach at its 3D model created in SolidWorks. After the reproduction of each element, all reference marks are gathered and put through the final checking process.
