1. A method for design and visualization of a physical object, the method comprising:
- providing a selection of object attributes for the physical object being modelled on an application user interface;
configuring a mask area of a viewfinder of a camera component to the application user interface according to a selected set of object attributes for the physical object being modelled;
viewing an approximation of the physical object being modelled in the mask area of the configured viewfinder on the application user interface according to the selected set of object attributes;
constructing at least one manufacturing file for the physical object being modelled after at least one image for the physical object being modelled is being captured; and
visualizing the physical object being modelled on the application user interface.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method, an apparatus and a computer program code for design and visualization of a physical object. The method, the computer program code and the apparatus present a consumer friendly approach for modelling a physical object that can be manufactured without requiring skills to use and knowledge of CAD tools and designer programs or understanding principles of 3D modelling and picture data rendering, for example, that would be beyond knowledge and skills of an average consumer or reachable for the average consumer.

17. An apparatus with integrated camera, the apparatus comprising:
-
a data communication interface; a one or more processors; a one or more memories including a computer program code; a camera component including a camera interface and a viewfinder; an application user interface; and the one or more memories and the computer program code configured to, with the one or more processors, cause the apparatus at least to receive one or more object attributes for a physical object being modelled from an application user interface; configure a mask area of the viewfinder of the camera component by the one or more object attributes for the physical object being modelled; and run the viewfinder with the mask area configured according to the one or more object attributes on the application user interface for viewing an approximation of a physical object being modelled. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
