The Symposium on Solid and Physical Modeling (SPM) is an international conference series organised annually with the support of the Solid Modeling Association (SMA). The conference aims at all aspects of geometric and physical modeling, and their application in design, analysis and manufacturing, as well as in biomedical, geophysical, digital entertainment, and other areas. The conference serves also as a ceremony for awarding the 2020 Pierre Bézier Prize for contributions to solid, shape, and physical modeling.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
3D fabrication/printing/manufacturing technologies
Anisotropic/heterogeneous/composite materials
Applied algebraic and differential geometry
Applied computational geometry and topology
Conceptual, collaborative, and distributed design
Computational fabrication
Curve, surface, and manifold modeling
Dimensioning and tolerancing
Feature modeling, recognition, and understanding
Geometric algorithms
Geometric and topological representations
Geometric constraint solving and parametric modeling
Geometric interpolation and smoothing
Geometry generation and processing
Geometry compression and transmission
Isogeometric analysis
