Modeling surfaces of arbitrary topology using manifolds
We describe an extension of B-splines to surfacesof arbitrary topology, including arbitrary boundaries. The technique inherits many of the properties of B-splines: local control, ...

Surface deformation using the sensor glove
Intuitive 3D surface control and deformation are crucial to CAD/CAM. To do this in a virtual environment, however, the technique must be very efficient. A common method for shape ...

A General Theory for Positioning and Orienting 2D Polygonal or Curved Parts using Intelligent Motion Surfaces
: In this paper we present novel algorithms to compute quasi-static and dynamic equilibrium positions and orientations (if any) of 2D polygonal or curved parts placed on general sh...

Optimal triangulation and quadric-based surface simplification
Many algorithms for reducing the number of triangles in a surface model have been proposed, but to date there has been little theoretical analysis of the approximations they produ...

Multi-point tool positioning strategy for 5-axis mashining of sculptured surfaces
Multi-point machining (MPM) is a tool positioning technique used for finish machining of sculptured surfaces. In this technique the desired surface is generated at more than one p...
