Andrew Camardella, industrial design consultant and professor at DePaul University, shares a straightforward concept development workflow using Shapr3D. This approach focuses on flexibility and speed—ideal for exploring product forms and creating multiple design variations with minimal setup.
This workflow focuses on controlled, parametric modeling for expert-level form exploration:
• Import: Precisely align reference images to anchor design intent.
• Sketch: Build constrained profiles to drive geometry and enable quick adjustments.
• Loft: Blend profiles into continuous surfaces to define primary volumes.
• Sweep: Create complex geometry such as spouts or handles with minimal setup.
• Move/Rotate: Reposition sketches or bodies to fine-tune proportions without rebuilding.
• Unlinked Copies: Explore design variations while maintaining the integrity of the base model.
• Mirror: Maintain symmetry efficiently to reduce redundant modeling steps.
• Chamfer/Fillet: Refine edges for manufacturability and final detailing.
