Abstract This paper describes a new implementation method for Boolean operations between solids with free-form surfaces. Boolean operations consist of two processes-topological modification and geometric modification-which are performed separately in our method. This separation makes the Boolean operation process simple and robust. Surfaces contained in the final solid are interpolated by the repatching facility using Gregory patches.
