How to solve this dilemma? problems encountered with Boolean operations on Breps. In The approach we promote is simple-minded, general and [MMZ94], the authors suggest in passing page 29 the use easy to implement.

Again, it is more it is always simple and consistent, in contrast to Breps.
Conversely, raytracing is imperative for objects the user. in contrast to the fragility of Brep-based modellers, where On the other hand, some primitives like cubes, quadrics and such casualness will invariably lead to failures! matrix of voxels which is more accurate and more compact than a traditional one. Several combinations may be considered, but the instance the Ray Casting Engine RCE handles quadratic simplest one resorts to merging two rayreps with the same half-spaces [MMZ94]. Thus interactivity and even real-time ray-grid: for each node A op B in the CSG tree, compute the should be achievable in the near future.

This combining method is very exible, and Fundamentally, a rayrep is a matrix of dexel lists.

To build a rayrep one can use any of the following meth- ods, and freely combine them according to the nature of the 3. Lastra [KML95]. Let A be the moving object, the motion of which is described, like above, by some function: t! For instance, to simulate material removal in multi-axis milling, developers often discretize the sweeps of tools along NC tool-paths. For each linear tool movement, the swept volume is replaced by a certain number of discrete "instances of motion" to avoid the computational expense of raytracing complex swept volumes [HO94]. Right: sewing triangles along the shared edges in milling requirements like cutter geometry and feed rate. real space, and around the shared vertex. This approach is common in practical NC-milling softwares. The Figure 3 illustrates this approach in 3-axis cracks between contiguous patches.
We have preferred the milling. following simple-minded approach Figure 2 : First, we tesselate each patch independently, keeping a thin strip along the boundary of the parameter domain:2 for instance, for tensor product patches with domain [0; 1] , we2 tesselate roughly like D. We proceed similarly for trian- d gular patches. Next, we use the non tesselated strip along edges for sewing triangles between contiguous patches. We also generate sewing triangles between corners of contiguous r patches. ance for the "undercut" error due to discretization.

This equation can be obtained with some symbolic com- putations, yielding an equation similar to the one derived 4 From 3rayrep to Brep previously.
