Institution:

University of Kentucky

Subject:

Description:

This course covers the path from a conceptual vision of a shape to a concrete computer-based description that is suitable for manufacturing. It covers various solids modeling techniques, including volume representations, boundary representations, instantiation and Boolean combinations of shapes, and procedural generation such as sweeps. It discusses effective data structures and consistent and unambiguous part description formats to transfer a shape from a designer to a fabrication house, as well as problems with maintaining unambiguous topology in the presence of finite-precision geometry. Prereq: CS 535 or consent of instructor.
