Recognition of Multi-Axis Milling Features: Part II—Algorithms & Implementation
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2005)This two-part paper describes general purpose methods for recognizing both simple and complex features; the latter may have freeform faces that may require 4 or 5 axis machining. The major ... -
Modeling Developable Folds on a Strip
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2005)A common operation in clothing and shoe design is to design a folding pattern over a narrow strip and then superimpose it with a smooth surface; the shape of the folding pattern is controlled ... -
Labeling Engineering Line Drawings Using Depth Reasoning
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2005)Automatic creation of B-rep models of engineering objects from freehand sketches would benefit designers. One step aims to take a line drawing (with hidden lines removed), and from it deduce ... -
Fitting and Manipulating Freeform Shapes Using Templates
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2005)Finding effective and efficient tools for complex freeform shape modification continues to be a challenging problem in computer graphics and computer-aided design. Although current approaches give ... -
Shape Tuning in Fully Free-Form Deformation Features
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2005)In this paper, an approach for shape tuning and predictable surface deformation is proposed. It pertains to the development of Fully Free Form Deformation Features (δ‐F4) which have been proposed ... -
Planar Parameterization for Closed Manifold Genus-g Meshes Using Any Type of Positive Weights
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2005)Parameterization of 3D meshes is important for many graphic and CAD applications, in particular for texture mapping, remeshing, and morphing. Current parameterization methods for closed manifold ... -
Detail-Preserving Variational Surface Design With Multiresolution Constraints
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2005)We present a variational framework for rapid shape prototyping. The modeled shape is represented as a Catmull-Clark multiresolution subdivision surface which is interactively deformed by direct ... -
Fast Continuous Collision Detection for Articulated Models
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2005)We present a novel algorithm to perform continuous collision detection for articulated models. Given two discrete configurations of the links of an articulated model, we use an “arbitrary ... -
Automatic Building of Structured Geological Models
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2005)The present article proposes a method to significantly improve the construction and updating of 3D geological models used for oil and gas exploration. We present a prototype of a “geological ... -
Trivariate Simplex Splines for Inhomogeneous Solid Modeling in Engineering Design
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2005)This paper presents a new inhomogeneous solid modeling paradigm for engineering design. The proposed paradigm can represent, model, and render multidimensional physical attributes across any ... -
Mold Accessibility via Gauss Map Analysis
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2005)In manufacturing processes like injection molding or die casting, a two-piece mold is required to be separable, that is, be able to have both pieces of the mold removed in opposite directions ... -
Streamlining Product Lifecycle Processes: A Survey of Product Lifecycle Management Implementations, Directions, and Challenges
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2005)The past three decades have seen phenomenal growth in investments in the area of product lifecycle management (PLM) as companies exploit opportunities in streamlining product lifecycle processes, ... -
Contouring Medial Surface of Thin-Plate Structures Using Local Marching Cubes
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2005)This paper describes a new algorithm for contouring a medial surface from CT (computed tomography) data of a thin-plate structure. Thin-plate structures are common in mechanical structures, such ... -
A Comparative Study Of Tolerance Analysis Methods
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2005)This paper reviews four major methods for tolerance analysis and compares them. The methods discussed are: (1) one-dimensional tolerance charts; (2) parametric tolerance analysis, especially ... -
