Preparation of a three-demensional model for data transmission

Abstract

The invention refers to a method, a Computer program and a reduction module for preparing a three-dimensional model (m) for a fabrication component in the context of production for data transmission to different receiving entities (C), comprising an input interface (i1) for receiving 3D model data (m). The reduction module further comprises a processor (P) for providing a detail-state for processing the three- dimensional model on the respective receiving entity (C) and wherein the processor (P) is further adapted to execute a reduction algorithm (X2) on a reference version (m') of the received 3D model data (m) for automatically calculating and providing at least one reduced reference version (rm') thereof with the provided detail-state.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method, a reduction module and a computer program for providing different versions of a three-dimensional model used in production. Background technique [0002] Computer-aided systems (CAD systems) are known in the art to provide electronic support in the engineering industry. CAD is primarily used for detailed engineering design through three-dimensional models of physical components (also referred to simply as "3D models" in this application), but it is also used for conceptual design and product layout (through strength and dynamic analysis of The entire engineering process from the generation of measuring procedures and quality characteristics of measuring devices) to the definition of component manufacturing methods. [0003] During the production of technical components or systems, it is often necessary to exchange 3D model information between different parties (eg especially product development, customers or differen...
