software to choose for 3d sanitary models

[publied]

for the modeling of sanitary (curve plates, smooth surfaces etc.) I would consider a slightly more organic modeler. According to me, a ssm type silo dela nevercenter, or the good old wings3d could come back useful.

can not, must be built, then solid or nurbs, and export in stl for cnc.
tspline still works like that. even if it would also be possible to import the obj from silo and convert everything with tspline.

Let us remember that our design must pass for a cam and manage a stl is not easy with results that often leave to want for the head of health.

tspline could be fine but also that is not the best to manage to create tool paths.

but then it is reverted and optimized in a rhino nurbs. surface analysis is pretty good after.

I think that I finally go on rhino.... is the most affordable in price and versatility! ! ! !

as regards the ceramic part of the sanitary ware (and not the rubinetterie), I would also consider, in addition to the mentioned products, also modelers sds and voxel. the approach is completely different from the nurb modelers and parametric modelers, and depending on the designer's mental form, its inclinations and the type of creativity that the objects must express, could present not a few advantages, at least in the conceptualization phase.
personally, for a user who autodefines himself neophyte, and who has to confront with problems of non-banal modeling, I would still look at him from suggesting parametric products, which while supporting the modeling of surfaces require a structured and conscious approach. above the cost, much higher, these products are a must in mechanical modeling and in the management of assembly, but impose times of development and difficulty of absolutely higher degree.

I allow myself to disagree. Although many cam software, while importing analytical models (iges, 3dm, step, parasolid etc.) then internally convert the model into mesh, this is not always true. there are cams working directly on native models, without polygonization.

according to my point of view in the conceptualization phase a superficial parametric is perfect.

I don't know. the question is almost philosophical.
to take advantage of the advantages of a parametric solution, it is necessary to correctly define the parameters and constraints in relation to future model modification prospects. to add the overhead of parameterization in the phase of conceptual development, when it has not yet been identified (otherwise we would not talk about conceptualization) a productive strategy seems to me a useless effort, which subtracts valuable resources to creativity.

I wouldn't see her as a philosophical thing.
take into account that it is surfaces and not solid, so you are not bound as a solid parametric modeler where settings need to be rigid (follow a certain way to get everything in order), but use it as a help to changes, which may be style or other.
