Boeing VPS 1: Collision Detection
"The Voxmap Point-Shell (VPS) system from Boeing is a collision detection library that is optimized for use with haptic interfaces. VPS allows the haptic device to manipulate and move arbitrarily shaped objects through a scene. This is particularly useful assembly path planning and maintenance path planning for manufacturing and design. This is where an assembly must be tested to see if replacement parts can be fit through the assembly.

1 Overview
Introduction to the SensAble Dental Lab System-- the only system built on 3D virtual touch, which allows lab technicians to model in “digital wax” as naturally as physical wax. The system provides a complete, integrated solution to scan, design, and then fabricate resin parts, which are then invested and cast in traditional alloys.
