Method for designing a template that removably fits to an objects surface

摘要

The invention relates to a method for designing a template that removably fits to an object's surface, comprising the steps of: obtaining in a computer aided design system a digitized three-dimensional image of the object determining an approach direction for the template to be placed on the object manipulating the image for removal of undercuts related to the approach direction resulting in a modified image of the object defining the template depending on the shape of the modified image, in which the image is processed for visualization in a viewing direction that identifies with the approach direction, and that the so processed image is used as the modified image depending on which the template is designed.
