ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus is presented in which a physical object is formed on the basis of data that represents a free-form surface. A free-form surface is formed by entering into a designing device a series of input points. A free-form surface forming unit of the designing device then generates geometric data that represents an object to be formed. The free-form surface forming unit uses this geometric data to control a milling machine, which sculpts an object in accordance with the geometric data.
