This book presents the latest advances in computational and parametric design engineering, as well as digital tools related to manufacturing. It covers design and manufacturing process such as CAD-based design/manufacturing, parametric design, algorithmic design and process automation, and several digital tools and applications. The continuous development of the graphical design environment allows returning to the graphical or grapho-analytical approach for the surface’s enwrapping problems, using capabilities offered by AutoCAD, CATIA, Solid Edge or other graphical design programs. In the present chapter, the method of “virtual pole” is presented and a program for profiling the generating tool was developed for the first time. The programs were written in Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), which allows profiling of tools like: rack-gear tool, gear shaped cutting tool or rotary cutter.
