Abstract

Modular devices are capable of thermoforming external surfaces of objects (22) from panels of thermoformable plastic materials; carrying out three-dimensional scannings of pre-existing objects taken as model, translating them into externa surfaces of virtual objects capable of being processed by means of CAD programs carrying out remote reproduction operations of the previously digitalized surfaces or of surfaces obtained from CAD data conserved in a database, in the form of objects thermoformed in plastic material; more generally, the syste is capable of producing from a panel of thermoformable plastic material the copy of the external surface of any object whatsoever or of translating the external surface of any object whatsoever into the virtual external surface of the same object andmoforming, even remotely, the geometry of the external surface of a virtual object into a plastic external surface.
