Developable surfaces are defined to be locally isometric to a plane. These surfaces can be formed by bending thin flat sheets of material, which makes them an active research topic in computer graphics, computer aided design, computational origami and manufacturing architecture. We obtain condition for developable and minimal ruled surfaces using rotation frame. Also, the validity of the theorems is illustrated with examples.

This paper develops a mathematical foundation for Computer Aided Design (CAD) of sculptured shapes based on line geometry. First, a new representation is presented for a line based on Plu¨cker coordinates that would allow specification of a line segment (rather than an infinite line) in an elegant manner and suitable for computational purposes. Then, methods are presented for geometric design of shape patches (here referred to as line constructs) by interpolating or approximating a set of control lines (rather than control points) using ruled surfaces, line congruences, and line complexes. The methods presented are general and allow utilization of different basis functions such as Be´zier, Cardinal, and B-spline bases. As Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) application of the theory, methods are developed for generation of offsets of ruled surfaces useful in Numerical Control (NC) milling and tool motion generation in the Wire Cut Electric Discharge Machining (EDM) operation.

Abstract This paper develops a mathematical foundation for Computer Aided Design (CAD) of sculptured shapes based on line geometry. First, a new representation is presented for a line based on Plücker coordinates that would allow specification of a line segment (rather than an infinite line) in an elegant manner and suitable for computational purposes. Then, methods are presented for geometric design of shape patches (here referred to as line constructs) by interpolating or approximating a set of control lines (rather than control points) using ruled surfaces, line congruences and line complexes. The methods presented are general and allow utilization of different basis functions such as Bézier, Cardinal and B-spline bases. As Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) application of the theory, methods are developed for generation of offsets of ruled surfaces useful in Numerical Control (NC) milling and tool motion generation in the Wire Cut Electric Discharge Machining (EDM) operation.

This paper develops the basic framework for Computer-Aided Design and Machining of composite ruled surfaces. Such surfaces are constructed by blending several patches which are segments of ruled surfaces. Taking advantage of the fact that a ruled surface is a one-parameter family of straight lines, methods are developed for blending of ruled patches. A new subdivision algorithm is also presented for generating sequences of cutter movements for machining of ruled patches.
