3D mining software system can realize the accurate design of mining method,the dynamic management of mine resource reserves,and the real-time programming of production planning. Through the research of 3D geological modeling and 3D roadway design method,the design of a copper mine un-
derground development system in Yunnan province is realized by using 2D and 3D integrated design approach and DIMINE 3 D mining software as the platform. The results show that the method effectively integrates terrain mine orebodies,faults and other geological data,and develop the design in three-dimensional state. Finally, the reasonable scheme of output can be output, in the form of plan, decision-making, production guidance and other aspects have overcome the shortcomings of the 2D design, it could provide help for mine decision-making and production.
