An apparatus for superimposing two-dimensional drawings of a part for manufacture onto three-dimensional computer models of the part for manufacture is disclosed. The apparatus includes a processor and a memory communicatively connected to the processor. The memory containing instructions configuring the processor to receive a two-dimensional drawing of a part for manufacture and a three-dimensional model of the part for manufacture. The apparatus defines an area of the two-dimensional drawing using a bounding box and extracts a section view from the area of the two-dimensional drawing. The apparatus positions the section view of the two-dimensional drawing at least partially over the three-dimensional model of the part for manufacture and aligns a component of the section view with a corresponding component of the three-dimensional model.
An apparatus for superimposing a drawing of a part for manufacture onto a computer model of the part for manufacture, the apparatus comprising:
A method for superimposing a cross-sectional drawing of a part for manufacture onto a three-dimensional model of the part for manufacture, the method comprising:
