Abstract
We introduce a method for approximating a given surface by a
developable surface. It will be either a G_1 surface consisting of
pieces of cones or cylinders of revolution or a G_r NURBS
developable surface. Our algorithm will also deal properly with
the problems of reverse engineering and produce robust
approximation of given scattered data. The presented technique can
be applied in computer aided manufacturing, e.g. in shipbuilding.
