Creating a 3d model of the case is one of the main steps in creating a product on a 3D printer. The new device must work well and look beautiful. Its design depends on the contents, so not only a designer, but also a designer, engineer, technologist work on the creation of the case. With the help of 3D modeling, you can create a new housing for an electrical appliance in the shortest possible time and with minimal material costs.
3d modeling of the electronics enclosure: preparatory work
The body of the electrical appliance – the surface to which all the parts that ensure the correct operation of the device are attached. Also on the body is placed various holes for buttons and for fasteners.
When designing 3d models of the housing for electronics it is worth paying attention to:
- design of the product;
- correspondence of the form to the content;
- materials for the case.
To make 3d modeling you need to use one of the ways of depicting the object:
- drawing;
- photograph;
- real object;
- 3D scanning.
To create a model by drawing you will need:
- drawings of all sides of the object;
- dimensions of the object, wall thickness;
- material recommendations.
3D models of the body on the photo are rarely used. But, if it is not possible to provide drawings (they are lost), you will need:
- photos of all sides of the object;
- dimensions;
- instructions about the material of the product.
The easiest way to create a 3d model of an enclosure for an electrical appliance is with a 3D scanner. Scanning allows you to get a three-dimensional image of any size: from a miniature box to a panel cabinet.
The source material for the model can be one of the above or all together: the more information – the better and faster the product will be created.
If in the future it is planned to print the product, then before you start modeling you need to decide on the material for printing. KLONA 3D modeling agency will help you in this. You can order a 3D model of any complexity with subsequent 3D printing.
