Abstract
In this chapter, a literature survey on the manufacturing processes of hybrid freeform surfaces is presented. Section 2.1 discusses the main principles and the limitations of FTS/SSS diamond turning and other multiple-axis diamond machining techniques. Section 2.2 covers the existing CAD/CAM/CAE technologies employed for the manufacturing of hybrid freeform surfaces, and discusses the needs for the surface generation methodologies to produce an accurate hybrid freeform surface. Lastly, Sect. 2.3 presents the concluding remarks that lead to this dissertation.
