Drilling spherical surface
Posted: Mon Jul 01, 2024 7:59 am
Hi
I don't know diddly about CAD requirements, other than it exists.
The software that I have constructed for my client allows them to input a set of X,Y orbital surface coordinates for positioning a drill bit onto a sphere.
The X coordinate goes from 0 to 90 degrees from the xaxis to the yaxis along the surface of the sphere.The Y coordinate goes from 0 to 359.99 degrees around the yaxis along the zplane.(I hope that makes sense)
What they have now is just a 2D rendering of these pilot hole drillings for 1/2 of a sphere.
What I was wondering is would your product be something that I could use to:
1.) Model a sphere
2.) Intersect that sphere with each pilot hole entry (Up to 350 pilot holes)
3.) Assemble all this in the background and then just pop up a preview window that allows the operator to have full rotational access to the resulting shape.
Regards,
Tony
