CAD Tools and Algorithms for Product Design / Edition 1

by P. Brunet, C. Hoffmann, D. Roller

Overview

Systems to support the continuously shrinking product development cycles and the increasing quality requirements need significant enhancements and new approaches.

In this book important new tools and algorithms for future product modeling systems are presented. It is based on a seminar at the International Conference and Research Center for Computer Science, Schloß Dagstuhl, Germany, presented by internationally recognised experts in CAD technology.
