During this decade, numerical models of mechanical parts have been exploited along with the activities related to computer aided design and manufacturing. Indeed, various types of engineering analysis in design have involved the representation problem of the object. N/C machining has required mathematical expressions of the surfaces to be machined for preparing the control information. Also systematical approaches to production require complete numerical representation of parts to provide efficient and smooth interface between design and manufacturing. This paper will describe one approach to parts representation and its applications.
