Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If traditional manual methods are used to create digital human figures, then high quality and realism can be achieved, but the production time and cost increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedigital human figure qualityVSAvoidproduction time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses 3D scanning technology to create digital copies of real human figures, capturing geometric information directly from physical objects. This copying approach replaces manual modeling while maintaining high fidelity, resolving the contradiction between quality and production time by automatically replicating real-world features.

Inventive Principle:
