For users of CAD data, few things are as frustrating as receiving unusable, poor quality data. Users often waste time fixing or rebuilding such data from scratch on the basis of p...
Three-dimensional shape retrieval is a problem of current interest in several different fields, especially in the mechanical engineering domain. There exists a large body of work ...
We present a parameter synthesis algorithm for planar, higher pair mechanical systems. The input is a parametric model of a mechanical system (part shapes and configurations) with...
A robust and efficient algorithm for trimming both local and global self-intersections in offset curves and surfaces is presented. Our scheme is based on the derivation of a ratio...
This paper compares two techniques for the approximation of the offsets to a given planar curve. The two methods are based on approximate conversion of the planar curve into circu...
