What is A Unified Approach to Free-Form and Regular Feature Modeling about?

Feature based design for objects with prismatic or conic geometry -also called regular geometryhas proven to be a valuable tool for the designer. Typical examples for design features are slots, pockets, borings or chamfers. Recent research has addressed the use of freeform features in the design of sculptured surfaces. Here, dedicated surface modeling systems and specialized surface models have been used for geometry representation resulting in a separation from existing feature modelers which typically use a solid modeler as a geometry engine. This paper presents a method for the integration of freeform and regular features within one data structure. Kevwords; Computer aided design (CAD), free-form feature, sculptured surface
