Abstract

A method of reconstructing 3D solids from three orthographic views is presented here. The method utilizes a “top-down” approach where a series of intermediate 3D solids that contain the target object are constructed and carved into the target object. Consequently, operations must be in 3D and are mostly subtraction operations. Three views of the intermediate 3D solids are generated and compared with the original three views to determine the needed sequence of 3D operations. This provides a natural feedback mechanism to the proposed method. The method was applied to forty five samples with twenty one successes and four near successes. Discussions include subjects for further improvements.
