For molding and casting processes, geometries that have undercut-free parting directions (UFPDs) are preferred for manufacturing. Identifying all UFPDs for arbitrary geometries at ...
This paper presents a novel approach to continuously and robustly tracking critical (geometrically, perpendicular and/or extremal) distances from a moving plane point p ∈ R2 to a...

Abstract. A new subdivision depth computation technique for extraordinary Catmull-Clark subdivision surface (CCSS) patches is presented. The new technique improves a previous techn...
Abstract. A new topological representation of surfaces in higher dimensions, “cell-chains” is developed. The representation is a generalization of Brisson’s cell-tuple data s...
Physical based and geometric based variational techniques for surface construction have been shown to be advanced methods for designing high quality surfaces in the fields of CAD ...
Geodesic paths and distances on meshes are used for many applications such as parameterization, remeshing, mesh segmentation, and simulations of natural phenomena. Noble works to c...
In this paper, we present a method that allows novice users to interactively create partially self-similar manifold surfaces without relying on shape grammars or fractal methods. ...
A voxelization technique and its applications for objects with arbitrary topology are presented. It converts a free-form object from its continuous geometric representation into a ...
Side actions contribute to mold cost by resulting in an additional manufacturing and assembly cost as well as by increasing the molding cycle time. Therefore, generating shapes of ...
Abstract. The need for robust solutions for sets of non-linear multivariate constraints or equations needs no motivation. Subdivision-based multivariate constraint solvers [1–3] ...
