Analysis of dimensions of a product, its visualization as a 3D model & volume estimation, positively impact the operations of manufacturing department in an industry. In this paper, a system has been designed to integrate the proposed features like 3D reconstruction, dimensional analysis & support for manipulating the reconstructed model. Research was carried out to estimate the volume of objects using their virtual 3D model & allow the user to edit this model which later can be compared with the original object, for manipulation. The pictures of an object from different planes are captured and using image processing, it is reconstructed in 3D, which is used to estimate parameters like volume, surface area, maximum dimensions across different planes. This edited 3D model will be utilized for generating a binary file representing the changes. This system provides detailed information to the user along with flexibility, thus enhancing the way in which the manufacturing industry works, as it requires no manual input or interaction once the process begins.
