A Review on Approaches for Handling Bezier Curves in CAD for Manufacturing

AbstractEver since aesthetics have emerged in modern design, parametric curve like Bezier is widely used in CAD design. Various techniques and methodologies like curve fitting, curve manipulation, blending and merging of curves have been proposed over the years for better handling and enhancing Bezier curve use with every possible application in CAD domain such as image extraction, modelization, profile approximation, fairing and smoothing, etc. These techniques have found its applications in manufacturing as well. A review is done on various approaches for handling Bezier curve in Computer Aided Design for the purpose of manufacturing for example tool path optimization, profile design, reverse engineering, etc
