Various Types of Surfaces: Made By:-Nilesh Bhojani Guided By: - Prof. B.K. Patel

The document discusses various types of surfaces that are important in CAD/CAM. It describes analytic surfaces like planes, ruled surfaces, tabulated surfaces, and surfaces of revolution which are defined by mathematical equations. It also covers synthetic surfaces like Hermite bi-cubic, Bezier, B-spline, Coons, fillet, and offset surfaces which are represented by polynomial equations and do not necessarily pass through all data points. The surfaces are used to model objects and represent boundaries in solid modeling.

Various types of

surfaces

Made by :- Nilesh Bhojani


Guided by :- Prof. B.K. Patel
Types of surfaces:-

 From CAD/CAM point of view surfaces are as


important as curves and solids because surfaces
form the boundaries of the solids.
 We need to have an idea of curves for surface
creation.
 The surfaces entities are of two types:-
1) Analytic surfaces
2) Synthetic surfaces
1. Analytic surfaces

 Surface entities which are defined by the analytic


equation are knows as analytic surface.

 The various type of analytic surfaces, used in


surface modeling are discussed below:

 1) Plane surface 2)Ruled surfaces


3) Tabulated surface 4) Surface of revolution
1) Plane Surface
 This is the simplest surface, requires 3 non-
coincidental points to define an infinite plane.
The plane surface can be used to generate
cross sectional views by intersecting a surface
or solid model with it.
2) Ruled (lofted) Surface
 This is a linear surface. It interpolates linearly
between two boundary curves that define the
surface. Boundary curves can be any wire frame
entity. The surface is ideal to represent surfaces
that do not have any twists or kinks.
3) Tabulated Surface
 This is a surface generated by translating a planar
curve a given distance along a specified
direction. The plane of the curve is perpendicular
to the axis of the generated cylinder.
4) Surface of Revolution
 This is an axisymmetric surface that can model
axisymmetric objects. It is generated by rotating a
planar wire frame entity in space about the axis of
symmetry of a given angle.
2. Synthetic surfaces
 The Surface which is represented by a collection
of data points are known as synthetic surfaces.
 The synthetic surface are represented by the
polynomial.
 The various types of synthetic surfaces, used in
surface modeling are:-
1) Hermite bi-cubic surface 2) Bezier surface
3) B-spline surface 4) Coons
surface(patch)
5) Fillet surface 6) Offset surface
1)Hermite bi-cubic surface
 This 3-D surface is generated by interpolation of 4
endpoints. This surfaces are very useful in finite
element analysis.
2) Bezier surface
 This is a synthetic surface similar to the Bezier
curve and is obtained by transformation of a
Bezier curve.
 The surface does not pass through all the data
points. It is synthetic surface which is
approximated by the given data point.
3) B-Spline surface
 This is a synthetic surface and does not pass
through all data points. The surface is capable
of giving very smooth contours, and can be
reshaped with local controls
4) Coons surface(patch)
 Coons patch or surface is generated by the
interpolation of 4 edge curves as shown
5) Fillet surface
 Fillet surface is a blend of two surfaces which
intersect each other.
6) Offset surface
 An existing surfaces can be offset to create
new surface. The offset surface is identical in
shape with the existing surface, but may
have the different dimensions.
