3D Deformable Modeling is a unique interactive sculpting tool for shaping 3D models while maintaining high-quality, manufacturable surfaces. 3D Deformable Modeling provides local and global editing features that allow for the easy creation and manipulation of free-form B-spline curves and surfaces. With this product, you can interactively sculpt shapes that automatically adhere to rich sets of constraints. It allows you to perform manipulations on curves and surfaces that would otherwise be extremely difficult or impossible to accomplish using control point manipulation, saving significant end-user time and resources.
Due to its precise shape and surface definition capabilities, 3D Deformable Modeling is ideal for complex mechanical jobs that require the rapid development of innovative surface and curve features, such as industrial design, aircraft skin and foil design (aerospace), automotive styling, prototype development, simulation, product design, shipbuilding, and free-form surface design for CAD/CAM/CAE and AEC applications.
Key Features of Deformable Modeling
- Allows you to restrict a deformation to a limited local region
- Ability to create entirely new shapes by making large deformations
- Capability to make small deformations in an existing shape, modifying the shape without sacrificing the original characteristics
- Can be used to increase the continuity of existing shapes, quilted surfaces, or networks of curves
