Appl. No.:

16/250142

Inventors:

- Minnetonka MN, US
Sara Ehlert Taylor - Cambridge MA, US

International Classification:

B29C 64/386
G01P 15/18
G09B 29/00
G05B 19/4099

B33Y 10/00
B33Y 30/00
B33Y 80/00

Abstract:

Embodiments represent acceleration along three orthogonal axes at two or more times as a three dimensional plot. Each point in the plot is positioned according to three coordinates, each of which is proportional to the amount of acceleration along one of the orthogonal axes at a moment in time. Some embodiments render the three dimensional plot as a three dimensional article of manufacture in which each point in the plot is represented by a volume of material. Method embodiments include the use of additive manufacturing techniques to fabricate such an article of manufacture. Some embodiments represent the three dimensional plot in two dimensions in a graphical interface. System embodiments may comprise an accelerometer, processor, output device, and a non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions causing the processor to map points with coordinates proportional to acceleration along the respective axes to a virtual three-dimensional plot and then control the output device to render the plot in two or three dimensions.
