Chocolate Mould

Laser Scanning recreated lost CAD files for a chocolate bauble mould.

This customer came to us with a part mould for icing on cake. The problem was that they did not have a CAD file for this mould and they wanted one so that they could make more of the same mould for when the original mould wore down.

Due to the complexity of the shape and its freeform surface, to ever build this model accurately from scratch would be near impossible, however with the surfacing tools in Geomagic Design X this was not an issue.

How?

Here we did the alignment for the mould block, and by using the scanned data like tracing paper, we created surfaces out of splines and patches for a complete watertight solid model, accurate to +/- 10 microns of the scan data. The good thing about this effective tool is that as you are building the model you can see an easy to understand colour deviation of how accurate the model is to the mesh (scan data).
