... In the former, university research identified the crucial geometric abstractions needed to predict handling and assembly costs, and these were then translated into specific design support tools. In the latter, the formal mathematical foundations for representations of solid objects were developed, and these were used as the basis not only for early versions of PADL, a pioneering solid modeler, but also for much of the solid modeling capability that has evolved since.
