Method and devices for modeling templates or stencils for three-dimensional objects with non-developable surfaces and for assisting the transfer of two-dimensional motifs onto those objects

Abstract

The purpose of the method and the devices of the present invention is to assist the transfer of two-dimensional patterns onto three-dimensional objects having non developable surfaces using a modelling (305) of said three-dimensional object and a projection of said two-dimensional pattern onto said modelling of said three-dimensional object. A first phase comprises modelling at least a portion of said modelling of said three-dimensional object through a plurality of developable surfaces (310). The second phase comprises transferring at least a portion of said projection of said two-dimensional pattern on at least one developable surface of the plurality of developable surfaces, said plurality of developable surfaces being adapted to be positioned on said three-dimensional object for transferring said two-dimensional pattern.
