Title: Computer representation of part geometry

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/7104298· OSTI ID:7104298

A data structure is found to be flexible and economical for representing the shapes of homogeneous solids. Its purpose is to support the activities of design, drafting, manufacture, and inspection in the manufacturing process. No attention is given to the problems of computational geometry which are inherent in all applications of such a representation. 14 figs.
