Molds for meshes: computing smooth parting lines and undercut removalAbstract—We consider the problem of computing a parting line for a mold for a complex mesh model, given a parting direction, and the related problem of removing small undercuts, either pre-existing, or resulting from the parting...

Determination of parting lines and multiple-undercut boundaries forThis paper proposes a new slicing approach that uses multiple sets of cutting planes to automatic determine parting lines and boundaries of undercuts of complex CAD parts for the multi-piece molds design....
Generating smooth parting lines for mold design for meshesFigure 1: Parting line generation for moai model: (a) model and triangle band; (b) topological structure of candidate paths; (c) candidate paths; (d) chosen cycle; (e) final parting line....
