Oh yeah! Don’t forget. So, an important observation on 3D objects. I’ve noticed that many 3D objects in the manufactured world are very much the same in physical structure, differing only in color and surface printing. Yeah, this makes sense given the limitations of current manufacturing technology. But what else does it mean? It also means that the process of digitizing a 3D object is much simpler. In today’s world, all one needs to do is 3D scan a control group of 3D objects, and then 2D photographs of additional objects can be automatically matched against their 3D counterparts, and the remaining texture can be applied by simple matching means. Done, mass 3D problem solved.
But of course, it also begs a question to think for the future. In the future, with 3D printing, will we perhaps have a larger diversity in the world of industrial design? Could it be the case that every manufactured object is slightly different in 3D design detail from every other? Well, I don’t know, this may be an interesting future to come.
