... for slicing is a height function restricted to the point-set surface, an implicitly defined moving least-squares (MLS) surface. We introduce a Lagrangian multiplier formulation for critical point identification from the restricted surface. Integral lines are constructed to form Morse-Smale complex...

... This paper presents an approach for generating curvature-adaptive finishing tool paths with bounded error directly from massive point data in three-axis CNC milling. This approach uses the Moving Least Squares (MLS) surface as the underlying surface representation. A closed-form formula...
