Abstract
The present day geometric modeling technology plays a central role for making CAD/CAM systems effective in users’ design and manufacturing preparation problem solving.
Though it provides a useful foundation for a variety of applications, there remain some issues which require further research or elaborate implementation.
The present paper discusses these issues with examples and describes challenges of resolving some of them by CADCEUS: Integrated CAD/CAM/CAE/CG system developed by Nihon Unisys, Ltd.(NUL).
Major focuses are pursuit of hybrid modeling in various senses, extension of parametric technology usage and major issues, effective use of non-manifold representation, use of geometric modeling technology for improving collaborative design, and several challenges of automated modeling. Curves and surfaces representation issue will also be mentioned.
