Abstract
Aesthetics, the commercial impact of which is continuously increasing, is not a synonym for freedom as the “free form” term leads us to suppose. The blending of surfaces whether complex or ... less complex is an important mode of generating CAD/CAM geometric entities not only because it involves several domains of mathematical expertise but also because it often conditions the quality (or at least the aesthetic quality) of the resulting product.
The presentation, based on a survey published in the May ‘84 of CAD edition, brings an industrial point of view to the theme, illustrated by some examples and results.
