While the vapour–liquid–solid process has been widely used for growing one-dimensional nanostructures, quantitative understanding of the process is still far from adequate. For example, the origins ...

A mathematical technique for representing solid objects. Unlike wireframe and surface modeling, solid modeling systems ensure that all surfaces meet properly and that the object is geometrically ...

The surface model of a racing ski helmet was generated in Cadkey Workshop V21 by Louis Garneau Sports Inc., Quebec, Canada, (www.louisgarneau.com ). Surfaces can be used to design structural elements ...

Scanning electron microscopes are great tools for 2D inspection and metrology of a wide variety of samples. However, their 3D capabilities are still very limited, especially when it comes to ...

In highly competitive industries such as automotive, it is increasingly design that differentiates a vehicle from its competitors. And because automotive manufacturers are pressured to get cars to ...
