Disk B-spline curve provides an alternative shape modeling tool to standard control point
based modeling techniques by extending control points to control disks, resulting in an easy …

We investigate a recently introduced methodology for 5-axis flank computer numerically
controlled (CNC) machining, called double-flank milling (Bo et al., 2020). We show that …

Existing flank milling path-planning methods typically lead to tiny gaps or overlaps between
neighboring paths, which causes artifacts and imperfections in the workpiece. We propose a …

Existing multi-pass planning methods often result in undesirable gaps or overlaps between
adjacent paths of a cutter. These gaps and/or overlaps in the path planning stage cause …

Blending and filleting are well established operations in solid modeling and computer-aided
geometric design. The creation of a transition surface which smoothly connects the …

Lofting—also denoted as surface skinning—is one of the fundamental operations for
creating free-form surfaces in Computer Aided Design. This process generates a surface …

This paper deals with surfaces covering a set of spheres, whose centers form polyhedra. We
propose novel methods of skinning based on homotopic deformation for the considered …

Recently there has been a growing interest in the topic of skinning of circles and spheres,
since modeling based on these objects has been found useful in areas such as medical …

We propose a new method for 5-axis flank computer numerically controlled (CNC)
machining of screw rotors using conical tools. The flanks of screw rotors consist of helical …

Minkowski Pythagorean hodograph curves are widely studied in computer-aided geometric
design, and several methods exist which construct Minkowski Pythagorean hodograph …
