Multi-objective Shape Optimization for NURBS-based Solids

该项目的目标是开发一种基于优化的设计工具，使医生和体育用品制造商等领域专家能够为患者和客户快速定制膝关节矫形器、曲棍球鞋或滑雪靴等产品。基于行业标准的形状表示，该项目中开发的算法将能够自动调整给定产品模板的参数，以满足各种标准，如视觉质量，鲁棒性和适合性。一旦产品以这种方式定制，它就可以使用3D打印来制造。该项目是Caboma公司与蒙特利尔大学计算机科学系的合作，Caboma是一家专门从事产品定制软件的公司。

The goal of this project is to develop an optimization-based design tool that will allow domain experts likephysicians and sports goods manufactures to rapidly customize products such as knee orthoses, hockey skates,or ski boots to their patients and customers. Based on an industry-standard shape representation, the algorithmsdeveloped in this project will be able to automatically adjust the parameters of a given product template inorder to meet various criteria such as visual quality, robustness, and fit. Once a product has been customized inthis way, it can be fabricated using 3D printing.The project is a collaboration between Caboma, a Montreal-based company specializing in productcustomization software, and the department of Computer Science at the University of Montreal.
