A Parametric Voxel Based Unified Modeler for Creating Carved Jewelry

Abstract

Concerns about the environmental impacts of used and discarded products have recently led to enactment of laws that regulate the amounts of hazardous substances and recyclable content in products. The laws also make the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) responsible for recovery and proper treatment of these end-of-life products. In this two part paper, we present methodologies for OEMs to use the Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) framework to effectively meet the challenges posed by these regulations. In this second part, we outline a methodology that can enable case-by-case selection of the treatment strategy for incoming end-of-life products. To extract product information required for this selection, we develop rule-based heuristics for identification of joints directly from CAD assembly models, along with their type, size, location and orientation.

A feature based design modeler and computational support to generate three-dimensional patterns

“…These semantic units alone or in combination with other units in meticulous manner create jewelry patterns. Gulati et al [12,13,15] have introduced a parametric approach for creating carved jewelry and developed a parametric feature based jewelry modeler for designing and manufacturing Fret-worked bangles. Fretwork designs are encoded as features that are recurrently removed from stock-solid bangles.…”

Digital Manufacturing of Indian Traditional Handicrafts

“…This CAD paradigm produces traditional class of Indian carved jewelry [6,7]. Digitalization has been included in jewelry production through CAD and layered manufacturing.…”

A parametric feature-based approach to reconstructing traditional filigree jewelry

“…A parametric approach to creating carved jewelry is also presented in [35]. Voxel elements are constructed and combined to recreate jewelry depicting designs made from small carvings.…”
