3D Modeling

TMG, which counts engineers amongst its employees, performs 3D modeling of components for design verification, manufacturing or use in technical literature. It has to date produced thousands of 3D models in a variety of industries. Many of TMG's models have been made available on the web for engineers and architects to download into their 3D project designs.

3D modeling can be used for checking correct fits with surrounding components in a complex mechanical or architectural system. This is performed by placing the 3D model of the component into a 3D model of the surrounding system, then checking for correct clearances and fit, also termed 'clashing."

TMG can perform 3D modeling using a variety of CAD platforms including BIM platforms.

TMG can also render raw 3D models photorealistically and the resulting images inserted into product catalogs. This saves the time and expense of actually manufacturing the component, which not be economically feasible for one piece (since dies would have to be produced for molding plastic, sheet metal or sintered parts).
