Rapid Prototyping
The speakers will address geometric software issues in rapid
prototyping. This includes conversion of CAD models to "standard"
formats, the current standard formats themselves, processing of
3D data into 2D slices, slice processing and support generation.
Current approaches tend to be similiar in the early stages, due
to adherence to the defacto, "STL" standard. However, new
standards have been proposed and may provide advantages in
robustness, speed and accuracy. Processing of slices and support
generation vary widely due the variation in 3-D rendering
hardware. The similarities and differences between approaches
discussed will illuminate generally applicable topics for future
research.
