Integrating Ceramic Design CAD and Virtual Reality Based on 3D Printing

Abstract

Based on 3D printing and VR (Virtual reality) technology, this paper developed a ceramic CAD (Computer-aided design) design system with SolidWorks as the carrier and VC++ as the development tool. The system integrates user interface design, ceramic model design, 3D printing preview and export, VR display and other functional modules, which can meet the needs of ceramic designers, manufacturers and end users. The experimental results show that the system can significantly improve the efficiency and quality of ceramic design and provide users with an immersive design experience. Through the 3D printing preview function, users can find and repair potential printing problems in time, such as insufficient supporting structure and loss of model details. The actual printing results verify that the model file exported by the system is consistent with the preview effect and the printing quality is good. This fully proves the reliability of this system. Compared with other design processes, the system is more flexible and intuitive, which is helpful in promoting the innovative development of the ceramic industry. In the future, the system performance will be further optimized, the VR display function will be enriched, and the whole chain digital management scheme of the ceramic industry will be explored.
