Special Issue on This special section features a selection of the best papers presented at the 2024 edition of the international conference Smart Tools and Applications in Graphics (STAG), the annual event of the Euro Submission Date: 2026-02-15 This special issue seeks original research articles that deal with the geometric modeling of subtractive and/or additive manufacturing processes. This includes, but is not limited to, research on tool and motion planning for Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) machining, hot-wire cutting, collision detection, multi-axis 3D printing, and computational design for fabrication. Particularly welcome is also research on modelling of heterogenous multi-material structures and their additive manufacturing.
