Abstract The principles of nasal reconstruction include the need to reconstruct three tissue layers, restore entire skin aesthetical units, and, possibly, replacement with like tissues. Computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) technologies were applied two total reconstructions in male patients who underwent rhinectomy for cancer. Three-dimensional (3D) data obtained f...

There are many complex problems in the optimization of an electronics manufacturing environment, and it is the view of the authors that these problems should not be solved and optimized in isolation but analysed in the framework of a system. A systems approach oVers an overall approach for solving problems, optimizing the whole of the system rather than discrete subsystems. The research introdu...

By now it becomes a well accepted fact that computer technology can significantly improve the productivities of manufacturing systems. More and more manufacturing functions are computerized, and the results are usually encouraging. Among them, CAD (computer-aided design), for instance, is a successful example. For over twenty years, CAD applications were dominated by the aerospace industries an...

Computer graphics (CGr) lies in the fundaments of computer aided engineering (CAE). As a result from the fast development in both CGr and CAE, more and more computer aided systems (CA-systems) have been ported on low-end and personal computers. Despite the continuous drop in the CA-system prices, this type of software is still very expensive compared to typical office applications. This paper d...
