Publisher's Synopsis
Contributing to the subject of geometrics, surface modelling in CAD and CAM in particular, this work sets out to provide a thorough investigation and explanation built from a foundation of fundamental mathematics.;The book covers topics ranging from an introduction to curve and surface geometry in which curve, tangent and surface vectors are described, together with geometric transformations and projections, ruled surfaces, through to Bezier curves and surfaces, surface intersection problems, surface modelling and environments of surface modelling.;The author shows how CAD software now has a great variety of operations available, including windowing, perspective, colour and reflection lines; and indicates how the cost of powerful CAD hardware and software has been reduced to the point where small companies, as well as large, can afford CAD systems.
