Study and Realizing of Adaptive Slicing Algorithm in Pro/E Environment

For resolving the compromising issue of traditional uniform slicing,adaptive slicing method in Pro/E environment was researched,an adaptive direct slicing algorithm was present that bases on the area change and normal vector of slicing sections. Pro/TOOLKIT was used to implement this algorithm in the Pro/E environment. This method is that the maximum slicing slabs are cut sliced adaptively. It is propitious to assure the prototyping precision and to increase prototyping efficiency, and an efficient method was offered for direct slicing operation using 3D-CAD model. 4figs.,9refs.
