In this paper, a graphics hardware-assisted approach to 5-axis surface machining is presented that builds upon a tool positioning strategy named the Rolling Ball Method presented ...
: LOGO is a programming language incorporating turtle graphics, originally devised for teaching computing to young children in elementary and middle schools. Here we advocate the u...
Boundary representation models reconstructed from 3D range data suffer from various inaccuracies caused by noise in the data and by numerical errors in the model building software...

Despite its usefulness in many applications, the medial axis transform (MAT) is very sensitive to the change of the boundary in the sense that, even if a shape is perturbed only s...
To allow a designer to focus on the information that is relevant for a particular product development phase, is an important aspect of integral product development. Unlike current...
In recent years, geometry processing algorithms that directly operate on polygonal meshes have become an indispensable tool in computer graphics, CAD/CAM applications, numerical s...
Solid modeling based on partial differential equations (PDEs) can potentially unify both geometric constraints and functional requirements within a single design framework to mode...
