Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If specialized authoring tools and expertise are used for 3D content creation, then high-quality 3D content can be created, but the complexity and cost increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improve3D content qualityVSAvoidauthoring tool complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an AI-based intermediary system that translates simple user sketches and text descriptions into high-quality 3D models. This intermediary layer (the AI system) bridges the gap between user-friendly input and professional-grade output, eliminating the need for users to directly operate complex specialized tools while maintaining high content quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the traditional mechanical system of manual 3D modeling operations with an AI-based automated system. Instead of requiring users to perform complex manual operations in specialized software, the system uses machine learning models to automatically generate 3D content from simple inputs, substituting manual expertise with automated intelligence.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Manufacturing precision

If specialized authoring tools are used for 3D content creation, then high-quality 3D content can be created, but the cost burden increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improve3D content qualityVSAvoidcreation cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent enables self-service 3D content creation where individual users can generate high-quality 3D models independently using the AI system. The system provides automated text-to-3D conversion capabilities that eliminate the need for expensive specialized software licenses and professional expertise, allowing users to create content at low or no cost while maintaining high quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Ease of operation

If manual 3D modeling processes are used, then control over the creation process is maintained, but the time required for creation increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser controlVSAvoidcreation speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-training AI models on extensive datasets of 3D models and their corresponding 2D representations. This pre-computed knowledge base enables the system to rapidly generate high-quality 3D models from simple user inputs without requiring users to perform time-consuming manual operations, thus maintaining user control while dramatically increasing creation speed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

There are provided a method and a system for creating 3D objects from an unstructured sketch and a text. A 3D object creation method according to an embodiment includes: receiving input of a sketch and a text on a 3D object to create; acquiring a text on the 3D object; creating a 2D image from the sketch and the text; and creating a 3D object from the 2D image. Accordingly, an individual user can create various 3D objects based on a rough sketch and a text without background knowledge on 3D asset authoring in various genres, such as animations, games, fashion, etc., and can directly use the 3D objects as high-quality 3D assets without an additional post-process in each field.
