Abstract: A computer-implemented method for converting a three dimensional model to a non-application specific format that is used for sheet metal manufacturing is provided. The method includes receiving a user input, via a Graphical User Interface (GUI), to select the non-application specific format from a defined group of non-application specific formats. The method also includes receiving a user input, via the GUI, to select the three dimensional model that has multiple surfaces from a database, receiving a user input, via the GUI, to select a surface and receiving a user input, via the GUI, to select a feature that is unrelated to the sheet metal manufacturing. The method includes removing the feature to create a two dimensional model of the selected surface, converting the two dimensional model to the selected non-application specific format and creating a file corresponding to the two dimensional model in the selected non-application specific format.

Abstract translation: 提供了一种用于将三维模型转换为用于钣金制造的非特定应用格式的计算机实现的方法。 该方法包括经由图形用户界面（GUI）接收用户输入，以从定义的非特定应用格式的组中选择非应用特定格式。 该方法还包括经由GUI接收用户输入以从数据库中选择具有多个表面的三维模型，经由GUI接收用户输入以经由GUI选择表面和接收用户输入， 选择与钣金制造无关的功能。 该方法包括移除特征以创建所选表面的二维模型，将二维模型转换为所选择的非应用特定格式，并以所选择的非应用特定格式创建与二维模型对应的文件。
