Geometric Reasoning on Molding Planning for Multishot Mold Design
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2006)This paper presents algorithms for automated design of multishot molds for manufacturing multimaterial or multicolor objects, and focuses on molding planning that determines a sequence of mold ... -
Geometric Interoperability With Epsilon Solidity
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2006)Geometric data interoperability is critical in industrial applications where geometric data are transferred (translated) among multiple modeling systems for data sharing and reuse. A big obstacle ... -
As-Built Modeling of Objects for Performance Assessment
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2006)The goal of “as-built” computational modeling is to incorporate the most representative geometry and material information for an (fabricated or legacy) object into simulations. While most engineering ... -
A New Volume Warping Method for Surface Reconstruction
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2006)Volumetric models of 3D objects have recently been introduced into the reverse engineering (RE) process. Grid-based methods are considered as the major technique for reconstructing surfaces from ... -
An Integrated Systematic Design Recovery Framework
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2006)Reverse engineering aims at reproducing an existing object by analyzing its dimensions, features, form, and properties. Reversing geometry has traditionally been emphasized in this process. The ... -
