Abstract

In the domain of free-from surface modeling, cyclides have attractive properties such a low algebric degree, rational parametric forms and an easily comprehensible geometric representation using intuitive geometric parameters. The paper propose some application of Dupin Cyclide in geometric modeling, the ciclides appear marginally insufficient with respect to degrees of freedom for shape control.
