Impact of surface continuity on 3D model

In an engineering environment, continuity is one of the important concepts. Not only does it have a significant impact on the aesthetic aspect of products, which is an essential parameter for commercial success, but it is equally a very crucial parameter from a technological point of view.
The continuity of the geometry of 3D CAD models determines how smooth the transition between two adjacent surfaces of the model is. C2 continuity, i.e. continuity up to the second derivative, has become the standard for the vast majority of CAD software today.
This work focuses on increasing the degree of contiguous surfaces to C3 continuity using CAD software Rhinoceros 7 to improve the quality of the model for CNC processing.
