Geometric Modelling Systems for mechanical design and manufacturing

C. M. Brown, Aristides A. G. Requicha, H. Voelcker

Open publisher page 11 citations

Abstract

Software systems for creating, editing, and maintaining geometric representations of solid objects are coming to play an important role in mechanical design and manufacturing. This paper discusses the generic characteristics that such Geometric Modelling Systems should exhibit, and proposes a high-level architecture for an industrially viable system that may be built by safely extending state-of-the-art geometric modelling technology.
