  2. Parallel (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_(engineering)

    Generally, workshop parallels have 4 faces that are machined and ground - the front, back and sides, although some do have the ends with a smooth surface. The surface of a parallel can often tell how it was manufactured, with a 'grain' showing that it was ground - and a smooth or mirrored finish showing it has been lapped .

  3. Polygonal modeling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygonal_modeling

    The subdivide tool splits faces and edges into smaller pieces by adding new vertices. For example, a square would be subdivided by adding one vertex in the center and one on each edge, creating four smaller squares. The extrude tool is applied to a face or a group of faces. It creates a new face of the same size and shape which is connected to ...

  4. Polygon mesh - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygon_mesh

    Face-vertex meshes represent an object as a set of faces and a set of vertices. This is the most widely used mesh representation, being the input typically accepted by modern graphics hardware. Face-vertex meshes improve on VV-mesh for modeling in that they allow explicit lookup of the vertices of a face, and the faces surrounding a vertex.

  5. Morph target animation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morph_target_animation

    Dozens of similar controllers are used to animate the rest of the face. An arbitrary object deformed by morphing between defined vertex positions. Morph target animation , per-vertex animation , shape interpolation , shape keys , or blend shapes [ 1 ] is a method of 3D computer animation used together with techniques such as skeletal animation .

  6. Milling (machining) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milling_(machining)

    Face milling is used to cut flat surfaces (faces) into the work piece, or to cut flat-bottomed cavities. In peripheral milling , the cutting action occurs primarily along the circumference of the cutter, so that the cross section of the milled surface ends up receiving the shape of the cutter.

  7. Fillet (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fillet_(mechanics)

    Example of a non-filleted pole (left) and a filleted pole (right) It is common to find a fillet where two parts are welded together. In mechanical engineering, a fillet (pronounced / ˈ f ɪ l ɪ t /, like "fill it") is a rounding of an interior or exterior corner of a part. An interior or exterior corner, with an angle or type of bevel, is ...

  8. List of Maya plugins - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Maya_plugins

    Maya Plugins are extensions for the 3D animation software Autodesk Maya. There are plugins for many different areas such as modeling, animation, and rendering. Some of them also interact with external applications (for instance renderers, game engines, or other software packages).

  9. Facing (machining) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facing_(machining)

    This process removes the material by rotating the facing tool in the counterclockwise direction as the table feeds the work piece across the cutter. Face milling can be achieved with an end mill, but is often done with a face mill, shell mill or a fly cutter. Face milling can be done in both manual machining and CNC machining. To obtain a ...
