Abstract
Computer graphics and geometry research in the 1960’s and 1970’s paved the way for the rapid commercial development of CAD/CAM systems in the 1970’s and early 1980’s. For the last few years the commercial field has been in a steady state mode, involving primarily incremental improvements. Current signs indicate that the field is poised to move again. However, the ultimate direction is unclear.
This paper will review various NSF sponsored research activities in the broad area of mechanical CAD/CAM, in an effort to focus on possible future directions of the field.
