Solid modeling refers to a technique that represents the volume and shape of an object in 3D space using mathematical data. Unlike 2D representations, which may only convey the outline or surface of an object, solid models capture all aspects of an object's geometry, including its internal structure, mass properties, and the relationships between different components.

Solid modeling is extensively used in designing parts and assemblies for manufacturing. It facilitates the generation of technical drawings, CNC machining paths, and other manufacturing documentation.

Engineers use solid models to perform simulations such as stress testing, thermal analysis, and fluid dynamics. This aids in predicting how an object will perform under various conditions before it is physically produced.

In marketing, solid modeling can be used to create realistic 3D procucts and environments. The geometrical precision ensures that animations look lifelike.

This is the wireframe view. It is a representation of a solid model that displays only the edges and vertices of the object without any surface shading or textures. This approach emphasizes the structure and layout of the model, allowing designers to focus on geometric relationships and topology without distraction.
