Abstract
The problem of trimming Bézier surfaces on Bézier surfaces contains many cases, such as the subdivision, conversion and conjoining. Different methods have been given for some special cases. In this paper, by means of blossoming and parameter transformation, a united approach is given for this problem. The approach can be extended to trim Bézier patches on any polynomial or rational surfaces naturally.
