On Surface Continuity in the Procession of Product Design

Article Preview

Abstract:

The purpose of this paper was to verify the way in which CAD systems and their tools for visual surfaces analysis interact with morphological knowledge in the determination of continuity in product design procession. Geometrical knowledge is necessary but not enough for working with this attribute of form in everyday objects, where cultural factors are involved. Geometry establishes a progressive range of surface continuity that involves the concepts of position, tangency and curvature. In product design different degrees of continuity that not necessarily follow this idea of increment. What is understood as discontinuous in products in most cases is geometrically continuous.
