Abstract

This is the first of two papers describing curve and surface design using the two design systems developed by Dr. A. Armit. These systems are Multipatch and Multiobject, both of which are interactive 3D shape design systems. A practical example is described in detail.

Following a 9 month apprenticeship at the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company in 1963, A. P. Armit, M.A., Ph.D. read Mechanical Sciences at Cambridge University Engineering Department under a Caltex Scholarship scheme. After some work on furnace rating and pipeline design he left Caltex to join the British Aircraft Corporation, Stevenage to become involved in analogue and digital circuit design. At about this time his book on Vectors for A-Level students was published by Heinemann. Under a BAC Scholarship he returned to Cambridge in 1967 to read for a Ph.D. in ‘Computer-Aided Design of Three-Dimensional Shapes’ at the University Computer Laboratory. During this time ‘Multipatch’ and ‘Multiobject’ design systems were constructed. Now back at Stevenage he is involved in the applications of c-a.d. within BAC.
