The technology gap between design and manufacturing has stimulated a number of research projects whose common objective is to bring design specification into some form of procedure that specifies the manufacturing sequence and tool path. Most notably, there are two related areas of study---sculptured surfaces and process planning. The former is concerned with representing non-analytic surfaces in parametric forms so that points on a surface can be generated from the parametric equations as cutting tool locations. The latter is concerned with grouping conventional machine parts and describing the part in special programming languages or representing them in codes to arrive at operation sequences, choice of machine tools, cutting data, and other information.
