Inventor(s)Andersson; Matts (Lerum, SE); Tornquist; Anders (Gothenburg, SE)
AbstractA method of manufacturing a three-dimensional body using a program with computer aided design, comprises the steps of generating input data for a computer, the data representing a three-dimensional body model, storing the input data in the computer, instructing the program via an input device to activate first signals for generating based on the input data, a plurality of surfaces representing a three-dimensional body model, each surface comprising a contour of a vertical section extending through a central axis of the three-dimensional body model, instructing the program via the input device to activate second signals for modifying contours of vertical sections in accordance with the desired three-dimensional body, and instructing the program via the input device to activate third signals for storing output data which denotes modifications of the contours in response to second signals, with the output data being transmittable from the computer for manufacturing the three-dimensional body.
