Vishal Gulati . Rapid Tooling for Producing Stretch-formed Jewelry. International Journal of Computer Applications. 17, 7 ( March 2011), 48-51. DOI=10.5120/2229-2844
In this paper, Computer Aided Designing (CAD) in conjunction with Rapid Tooling is applied to design and produce forming tools (punch and die) for stretch-formed jewelry (generated on thin sheet metal on top of which jewelry patterns are raised with forming tools by stretching the sheet metal beyond its elastic limit. The work presents a parametric voxel based CAD paradigm for modeling of such forming tools which contains English alphabets as jewelry patterns.
