Abstract:

Cyber Physical Systems have revolutionized manufacturing to the point that next generation component manufacturing is now referred to as "digital manufacturing." Parts are made based on digital models that are represented by discrete points or meshes in standard file formats such as STL. The difficulty with these representations is that they can become extremely large when high resolution is desired.
