Zusammenfassung: | Methods, systems, and apparatus, including medium-encoded computer program products, for computer aided design and manufacture of a part by three-dimensional surface pattern generation, include: receiving input identifying (i) a pattern type, (ii) a three-dimensional feature to be used to modify a three-dimensional part, and (iii) a surface of the three-dimensional part being designed; generating varied copies of the three-dimensional feature in a three-dimensional space in which the three-dimensional part is defined, wherein an aspect of the three-dimensional feature varies for at least two of the varied copies of the three-dimensional feature in accordance with a function that is applied for the pattern type, and at least a portion of a range of the function is mapped to the three-dimensional space in accordance with the surface; and rendering a visualization of the varied copies of the three-dimensional feature to a display device presenting a user interface. |
