This paper presents slicing algorithms for efficient model prototyping. The algorithms directly operate upon a non-uniform rational B-spline surface model. An adaptive slicing algorithm is developed to obtain an accurate and smooth part surface. A selective hatching strategy is employed to further r

β¦ Synopsis
In this paper, we describe a method for region-based adaptive slicing. Whereas in traditional adaptive slicing the user can impose a single surface finish (cusp height) requirement for the whole object, in region-based adaptive slicing, user has the flexibility to impose different surface finish requirements on different surfaces of the model. We describe the method and its implementation. Two example parts were built using the slicing technique and the results are included.

An important task in computer graphics, computer-aided design and reverse engineering is the mathematical modeling of three-dimension complex surfaces based on digitized points. However, there are several open problems that are viewed as a bottleneck in the mathematical modeling. The topology is unk
In reverse engineering, the conventional surface modelling from point cloud data is time-consuming and requires expert modelling skills. One of the innovative modelling methods is to directly slice the point cloud along a direction and generate a layer-based model, which can be used directly for fab
