TAMC Course on Geometric Models in CAD Systems – (or Computer Aided Geometric Design)

November 15, 2022

Lecturer:  Gershon Elber

Tought on:  Spring 2022/23

Class number:  236716

Website:  https://class236716.cs.technion.ac.il/

Relevance to the TAMC:  This class is about the computer representation of geometry in geometric CAD system. The aim is to also touch modern representations that allows the representation of heterogeneity and porosity, that are critical to AM.

Official Syllabus:  Explicit, implicit and parametric representations. Conic Sections and quadratic functions. Hermite and Spline interpolations. Continuity. Differential geometry of curves. Bezier curves. B-spline curves. Differential geometry of surfaces. Bezier and B-spline surfaces. Subdivision and Refinement. The course leads towards the planning and implementation of a graphics system that models 3-dimensional objects using high level programming tools.
