Projects/MoSS/3.0 CAD-CAM Output

The three dimensional models are an important extension of MoSS as they allow the designer to evaluate the form and study the potential subdivision and joining of surface plates with a view towards manufacturing. The construction of surfaces may not necessarily follow the same scale or geometry of the generated MoSS geometry, as plates may be grouped in larger segments and then joined to form a continuous surface. The production of physical models is the first step towards an integrated system using structural analysis, material properties, finite element analysis (FEA) and CAD/CAM. This orientation is particularly interesting in light of advances in rapid prototyping which allow for diversity in the production process at little extra cost leading to locally optimized solutions.
