Complete automation of trajectory planning tools for material deposition/removal applications has become increasingly necessary to reduce the “concept-to-consumer” timeline in product development. Segmentation of a complex automotive surfaces into topologically simple surfaces remains a barrier in the automation of trajectory generation. In this paper, we develop a novel hierarchical procedure to segment a complex automotive surface into geometrically as well as topologically simple components.
