Abstract A novel 3D bit-map-based CAD has been developed. This program, named CellCAD, relies on techniques which provides easy manipulation of huge sized 3D bit-map, poly-triangle and 2D bit-map data. It can be attached to various kinds of additional plug-in processors to extend its functions and to customize it highly for broad applications. CellCAD can be applied in fields using computed tomography digitizers and/or layering fabricators. The authors applied CellCAD to hydraulic pump model fabrication. This paper reports the basic design concept and implementation techniques of CellCAD from the viewpoint of design engineering, and also introduces the methods and results of an actual CellCAD application.
