Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If 3D models are rotated in a 3D display, then the system can provide different views of the object, but the system performs data intensive rendering tasks that cause distortions and reduce real world fidelity
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the 3D model into multiple pre-rendered views or facets. When rotation is requested, the system selects and assembles appropriate pre-rendered segments rather than performing real-time rendering, thereby avoiding distortions while maintaining view manipulation capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary rendering of multiple views of the 3D model before the user requests rotation. These pre-rendered views are stored and can be quickly switched between without performing data-intensive rendering tasks during rotation, thus maintaining both adaptability and fidelity.
2Manufacturing precision
If bespoke 3D models are rendered by hand by a trained professional, then high real world fidelity is achieved, but the process is time consuming and expensive
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates accurate copies of real-world objects using 3D scanning technology. Instead of manually modeling each object, the system captures geometric data from physical objects and generates digital 3D models automatically, achieving high fidelity without manual intervention and significantly improving productivity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system replaces the manual mechanical process of hand-modeling with automated 3D scanning and computational algorithms. This substitution eliminates the need for trained professionals to manually create each model while maintaining or exceeding the fidelity that manual processes could achieve.
3Manufacturing precision
If manual 3D modeling processes are used, then high fidelity models are produced, but it is difficult to scale the modeling process
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses automated 3D copying/scanning to generate models, which can be performed rapidly and repeatedly without additional manual effort. This allows the modeling process to scale efficiently while maintaining consistent high fidelity across all generated models.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables objects to be modeled automatically through 3D scanning without requiring human artists for each model. The scanning process itself performs the modeling work, allowing unlimited scaling of model production while maintaining fidelity, as the process does not depend on human resources.
