TracTrix in Toy Design
Toy designers often find inspiration and concepts in real world products like automobiles, ships, airplanes, bridges, and buildings. Redesigning and scaling these life size items into toys is a tedious task if done with pencil and paper or redraws in CAD. Photos and scale drawings of these objects are easy to obtain. The problem is one of how to take the photos or drawings on paper into CAD for subsequent manufacturing of toy components and assembly.
 
   The scale drawings or photos are scanned into raster format and automatically vectorized in TracTrix. The resultant vector file is then taken into CAD, edited to suit and exported to Computer Aided Manufacturing Software (CAM).
