Freeform surface modelling is the art of engineering Freeform Surfaces with a CAD or CAID system. Freeform surface, or freeform surfacing, is used in CAD and other computer graphics software to describe the skin of a 3D geometric element. Freeform surfaces do not have rigid radial dimensions, unlike regular surfaces. They are used to describe forms such as turbine blades, car bodies and boat hulls. Initially developed for the automotive and aerospace industries, freeform surfacing is now widely used in all engineering design disciplines from consumer goods products to ships. Most systems today use nonuniform rational B-spline (NURBS) mathematics to describe the surface forms; however, there are other methods such as Gorden surfaces or Coon surfaces.
Free Surface Modelling G0 ? position (touching) G1 ? tangent (angle) G2 ? curvature (radius) G3 ? acceleration (rate of change of curvature) To achieve a high quality NURBS or Bezier surface, degrees of 5 or greater are generally used
