REVIEW OF THE MODERN CAD SYSTEMS FOR THE FURNITURE INDUSTRY
Александр Стариков, A. Starikova
Abstract
The article presents the results of a brief comparative analysis of specialized CAD systems used in the furniture industry. In particular, it is noted that the functioning of CAD for mechanical engineering is based on geometric models of design objects, which are a mathematical reflection of information about the properties of forms and structural features of the furniture products. Therefore, such CAD systems can be quickly and relatively easily adapted to solve the problems of the furniture industry. At the same time, specialized CAD furniture products were widely used. This is determined by the engineering and artistic nature of the furniture products. The functional capabilities of most modern furniture CAD systems provides a high level of design automation, including products modeling, the creation of drawings and cutting maps of structural and decorative-facing materials, and the preparation of control programs for automated technological equipment.
