In this paper, we present a framework for a 3D printing slicer that is specially designed for
function representation (F-rep) models. A direct slicing scheme for F-rep models is …

Additive manufacturing technologies (AM) have a unique capacity for handling geometrical
complexity and are, therefore, ideal for producing parts with geometrically complex form and …

Adaptive meshing of 2D planar regions, curved surfaces as well as 3D volumes has been
extensively studied in Finite Element Analysis (FEA) in the past few decades. Despite the …

Mass customization (MC) allows consumers to design their own products or services
through online MC toolkits. The application of geometric modeling through modern web …

Cooperation search algorithm (CSA) is a new metaheuristic algorithm inspired from the team
cooperation behaviors in modern enterprises and is characterized by fast convergence …

The terminology of multi-material volumes is discussed. The classification of the multi-
material volumes is given from the spatial partitions, spatial domain for material distribution …

Ball surfaces play a crucial role in modeling 3D objects with varying thickness. In this paper,
energy functionals for surface design are extended to Ball surfaces and the variational …

This paper deals with 2D image transformations from a perspective of a 3D heterogeneous
shape modeling and computer animation. Shape and image morphing techniques have …

The problem considered in this work is to find a dimension independent algorithm for the
generation of signed scalar fields exactly representing polygonal objects and satisfying the …

Due to the advantages of control over shape and properties, multimaterial parts have
potential for a broad range of biomedical engineering applications. A type of multimaterial …
