  • This paper proposes a new solid-shape modeling system based on a lusterware-image illustration. The proposed method reconstructs a three dimensional solid shape from a set of rough sketches that are typically drawn in the early stages of the design process. The sketches do not have to be strictly accurate, and this tolerance to the roughness of the input sketches is one of the major advantages of the proposed method. The proposed system creates an initial shape based on the silhouette of the input lusterware-images. Then the user can edit the initial shape with intuitive cutting and dishing-up operations, which are based on sketching user interface. To achieve the goal, the system retains the geometric model with two representations: a point-set data and a volume data. This dual data structure allows the program to create an initial shape from the input images with little computational cost, and the user can apply cutting and dishing-up operations without substantially increasing computational and memory requirements. In this research, we have tested the proposed system by reconstructing solid models of some mechanical parts from rough sketches. The experimental results indicate that the proposed method is useful for the prototyping of a solid shape.

  • 데스크탑 기반의 컴퓨팅 환경에서 모바일 기반 컴퓨팅 환경으로의 전환은 인터페이스의 변화를 필연적으로 요구한다. 이에 현재 모바일 기기들은 작은 사이즈의 기계에 많은 버튼을 부착하고 다양한 기능의 GUI를 제공하여 모바일 환경에서 데스크탑 수준의 인터페이스를 제공하려 하고 있다. 하지만 그 결과 버튼의 사이즈는 작아지고 GUI는 복잡해져 오히려 사용자의 불편함을 가중시키고 있다. 또한 제공되는 GUI는 공통적인 형식이 없고 사용자의 기호를 반영하지 못하며 부가적인 학습이 필요한 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위한 방안으로 Solid Object 인터페이스 모델을 제안한다. 본 모델은 사용자가 직접 제작 가능하며 TUI(Tangible User Interface)의 특성을 활용하여 조작의 편의를 추구 하였으며, 증강현실(Augmented Reality) 기술을 이용하여 즉각적인 정보 피드백을 제공한다. 그리고 Pictorial Image Code로 증강현실과 TUI를 연결하고 사용자에게 직관적인 정보를 제공해준다.

  • In recent years, 3D printers have become popular as a means of outputting geometries designed on CAD or 3D graphics systems. However, the complex user interfaces of standard 3D software can make it difficult for ordinary consumers to design their own objects. Furthermore, models designed on 3D graphics software often have geometrical problems that make them impossible to output on a 3D printer. We propose a novel AR (augmented reality) 3D modeling system with an air-spray like interface. We also propose a new data structure (octet voxel) for representing designed models in such a way that the model is guaranteed to be a complete solid. The target shape is based on a regular polyhedron, and the octet voxel representation is suitable for designing geometrical objects having the same symmetries as the base regular polyhedron. Finally, we conducted a user test and confirmed that users can intuitively design their own ornaments in a short time with a simple user interface.

  • This paper describes the development of automatic shape design program for spur gear. It produces automatically third-dimensional surface and solid model used in CAD/CAM system with inputting simple measurements. This program can maximize user's convenience and get surface and solid model quickly as accepting GUI(graphic user interface). Automatic shape design program for spur gear was developed by Visual LISP, a developer program. Besides, a geometrical method and a mathematical algerian are used in this program. Use frequency of a fine spur gear is on the increase recently and manufacture process of this gear is heat treatment after press processing with molding. In this press processing, the upper punch portion of a fine spur gear shape is drafted by CAM. Therefore, estimated that surface and solid model of spur gear used to CAM are needed in this research. In this research, after 2 ㎜ gear was modeled by auto shape design program, the upper punch portion of a fine spur gear was manufactured as giving third-dimensional model to CAM software and then, displayed the result as applying to press process.

  • In this study, an automation tool was developed for rapid evaluation of machine tool spindle designs with automated three-dimensional finite element analysis (3D FEA) using solid elements. The tool performs FEA with the minimum data of point coordinates to define the section of the spindle shaft and bearing positions. Using object-oriented programming techniques, the tool was implemented in the programming environment of a CAD system to make use of its objects. Its modules were constructed with the objects to generate the geometric model and then to convert it into the FE model of 3D solid elements at the workbenches of the CAD system using the point data. Graphic user interfaces were developed to allow users to interact with the tool. This tool is helpful for identification of a near optimal design of the spindle based on, for example, stiffness with multiple design changes and then FEAs.

  • This paper proposes a graphical user interface for industrial robot systems. Previous user interfaces for industrial robot systems were based on the text. In order to enable operators to handle robots more efficiently, a set of graphical tools is provided. The graphical tools contain a control panel for operating robots and compiling robot programs, a graphical teaching panel for handling virtual robots and a graphical monitoring panel for checking robot status. Furthermore, the proposed GUI can be used to operate remote robots because it has network utilities. This system consists of the virtual mode and the real mode. The user can handle a 3D virtual solid model of the robot in the virtual mode and an actual robot in the real mode.
