  • Method and system for identifying peripheral elements of a complex model
    Patent number: 6580428
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system for determining peripheral elements, e.g., outer surfaces, of a geometrical representation of an object. The method of the invention can be implemented in any computer platform having a facility for creating a geometrical representation of an object. In particular, the computer-implemented method of the invention can be incorporated into a CAD/CAM system as one of the utilities provided by the system.
    Type: Grant
