Abstract
A method of creating a triangulated surfaces for generating machine readable instructions for customization is provided. The method comprises selecting text or symbols. The text or symbols are spaced. The text or symbols are mapped between first and second curves. Triangulated surfaces are generated from the mapped text or symbols. The triangulated surfaces are converted to machine readable instructions.
Claims21
A method of creating a triangulated surface for engraving an item, the method comprising:
- selecting text or symbols;
- spacing the text or symbols;
- mapping the text or symbols between first and second curves;
- generating triangulated surfaces from the mapped text or symbols.
The method of claim, wherein selecting text or symbols further comprises selecting at least one divider and wherein spacing the text further comprises placing the at least one divider and mapping the text or symbols comprises mapping the at least one divider.
A method for creating a triangulated surface convertible to a series a machine readable instructions, the method comprising:
- defining a shape for placement of text and/or symbols;
- defining the text and/or symbols for placement on the shape;
- placing the text and/or symbols on the shape as triangulated surfaces;
- and
- converting the triangulated surfaces to machine readable instructions for generation of a customized item.
A computer-readable medium encoded with a computer program code for creating a triangulated surface convertible to a series a machine readable instructions, the program code causing a computer to execute a method comprising:
- defining a shape for placement of text and/or symbols;
- defining the text and/or symbols for placement on the shape;
- placing the text and/or symbols on the shape as triangulated surfaces;
- and
- converting the triangulated surfaces to machine readable instructions for generation of a desired output.
