Abstract

We propose the direct production of 3D CSG models from sketches as a way of relieving the user from having to input detailed 3D CAD models. This shortens the CAD/CAM process and simplifies it, allowing non-expert end-users to produce their own designs. Early detection of features in the 2D sketch is a critical step. This paper discusses a general strategy for solving this problem, and then describes our approach for detecting steps and pockets in a 2D line-drawing obtained after vectorising the sketch captured by an input device

Extracting datums to reconstruct CSG models from 2D engineering sketches of polyhedral shapes
Abstract
Our goal is to automatically generate CAD 3D models from 2D sketches as part of a design chain where models should be procedural, containing features arranged in a model tree and linked to suitable datums. Current procedural models ...
