Abstract :
In CAD/CAM technology, the design of free form surfaces is the beginning of a chain of operations, which ends with the numerically controlled (NC) production of the designed object. An important part of this chain is shape analysis. We present a stability concept for surfaces based on infinitesimal bendings. The infinitesimal rigidity is enforced by certain boundary conditions
