Aims :

The aim of the course is to give to students the basics of surfaces modelling techniques, including direct use of free-form surfaces modelling of the representation of industrial design objects.

Topics :

Curves Modelling: 2D and 3D curves modelling; basic curves, conics curves, curves through points and curves through control points; curves from surfaces; intersection and cross-sections curves; commands for curves editing and change.
Surfaces Modelling: 3D surface modelling; linear and rotational extrusion surfaces; loft; bounded and trimmed surfaces; surfaces from cross-sections and from isoparametric curves; adjacency and continuity control.
Data exchange formats: formats for 2D geometry data exchange; formats for 3D exact geometry exchange; formats for tessellated geometry exchange; standard formats (IGES, STEP), de-facto standard (STL, DWG) and others (SAT, X_T, ecc.).

Textbooks :

Articles and lectures distributed during the lessons.

Exam :

Development of a project involving the modeling of elements with style features.

Tutorial Session :

To be concerted with the teacher.
