What are Parametric and Non-parametric Modeling
Table of content Parametric Model/Modeling Non-parametric Model/Modeling In the past, designers resorted to the physical measurement of the product to redraw its geometry. Today, designers use 3D scanners to capture measurements. The scanned data is then imported to CAD, where the design can be analyzed, processed, manipulated, and refined. Two key aspects that fall in place […]
