Techniques are provided for searching on three dimensional (3D) objects across large,
distributed repositories of 3D models. 3D shapes are created for input to a search system; …

An ideal product modeling system should support both part modeling and assembly
modeling, instead of just either of them as is the case in most current CAD systems. A good …

One embodiment of the invention provides a computer-implemented method for
collaborative three-dimensional (3D) markup. In this embodiment, the method includes …

Contemporary design problems embody significant levels of complexity, which make it
unlikely that a single designer can work alone on a complex design problem. Knowledge …

This work describes the implementation of an integrated web-based CAD/CAPP/CAM
system for the remote design and manufacture of feature-based cylindrical parts. This …

Recent advances in cloud-computing and social-networking are influencing how we
communicate professionally, work collaboratively, and approach data-science tasks. Here …

A heterogeneous computing environment characterizes today's manufacturing situation.
This is a stumbling block for the efficient implementation of manufacturing concepts such as …

One of the aspects of mass customization is to provide customers with products that are
manufactured to their needs and requirements. To provide such support requires better …
