New algorithm reduces distortions in curved surface development for CAD/CAGD.
The article discusses a new method for creating flat patterns from curved surfaces in computer design. The researchers define and explore different ways to do this, focusing on reducing distortions. They introduce a hybrid development algorithm specifically for NURBS surfaces, which helps minimize distortions in the flat patterns. This new algorithm improves the accuracy of creating flat patterns from curved surfaces, making it easier to design complex shapes in computer-aided design.
