VX Vision was a joint project between Samsung Electronics and VX Corporation with the aim to develop an advanced, integrated CAD/CAM software with powerful and affordable, three-dimensional hybrid modeling capabilities. The VX Corporation was acquired by ZWSOFT. During joining the project, I had developed the following items: B-spline curve interpolation B-spline curve fitting based on energy minimization Medial curve and surface creation Surface creation by { approximate lofting, birail sweeping } Surface creation from { scattered data, a network of curves } Topology checker and healer for parts imported from IGES
