A new method for machining feature extracting of objects using 2D technical drawings

In this study, a new method called “3-Space” has been developed to obtain 3D models of prismatic machine parts using 2D technical drawings. This method uses 3 surfaces named Base, Top and Sweep Base for the determination of the objects. The edge colors have been given to the surfaces with meanings, and are used for the determination of the type and characteristics of the objects. 4 characteristics of the processing objects (namely external access direction, exit status, boundary geometry and the processing order of the features) have been determined. First, the object is considered a prismatic raw material, and the features to be processed on it are removed. Then the remaining object itself is created and thus a 3D view of the object is obtained.
