摘要
Selection of an optimal parting direction in mold and die design is considered. Based on the condition for demoldability, two levels of visibility-complete and partial-are defined for a surface. If a surface is completely visible along a certain direction, it can be separated from the mold along the opposite direction. If a surface is not completely visible and therefore cannot be separated from the mold along any direction, it can be decomposed into two portions: those that are separable and those that are undercuts; the former is based on complete visibility and the latter on partial visibility. Algorithms are given for computing the undercut volumes of a polyhedral surface with respect to a particular parting direction and for selecting a parting direction that minimizes the number of undercuts.
