Title:
COMPUTATIONAL GEOMETRY DESIGN FOR SHEET METAL MACHINERY CORNER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2006031947
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
One or more embodiments of the presently preferred invention provides a method and a computer-program product for creating a parametric corner on a sheet metal design. The parametric corner is a machinery corner that can be constructed in the formed or unformed state and successfully handles a bend corner with different radii and bend angles. Further, the machinery corner allows placing features thereon, as well as producing unformed geometrical representations of said placement.
