Search for a 3D modeling software - which can create the effect of conicity

Discussion started by toni-lechner

I am in search for a 3D modeling software, which can create the effect on a 3D model of conicity.

The conicity is an important feature for creating permant molds.

For better understanding:

A true conicity-effect on a 3D model - is to get rid of undercuts, when creating a permant mold of a 3D model ?

---

Or does anyone imagine - how to create a conicity effect when making a mold from a 3D object ?

If I understand you properly most 3D applications have a Booleon function where you can subtract a model against a box or cube say and leave an imprint of it. Would this be enough for a mold I am not sure! My knowledge is mainly from using 3ds Max but I am sure most CAD or similiar design software will have the same or better functions to do this. I'm thinking of Fusion 360 perhaps.

Hallo Jim, the boolean can include undercuts of any model. --- From ZBrush-Support I got to know, that in ZBrush there is an feature called "draft analysis" by which you can make undercuts just visible. --- I am in search for an 3D Software which can create conicity on an existing 3D model from one side automatically. Maybe - if this is to complex to prorgamm - one could try to create a 3D conicity from a 2D Spline pattern - to extrude it do a 3D relief - giving the option of defining the angele of Conicity. Still searching. But thanks for Your thoughts. Toni
