Abstract: The problematic surfaces generation by enveloping method is known, and exists general laws for solving enwrapping problems of first degree or second degree (Olivier, Gohman).
Also, the problems of helical surfaces generation was developed at large using the method of helical movement decomposition.
At “Dunărea de Jos” University of Galaţi, during more years were developed algorithms designated to solution the surfaces generation by enveloping: the minimum distance method; the substitutive circles family method; the in plane generating trajectories method.
These methods, applied for all the enveloping generation problems (first degree problems, profiles and surfaces associated with rolling centrodes couples as so as contact problems of revolving surfaces with helical surfaces), and also second degree problems (reciprocally enwrapping surfaces with point contact, have solutions based on these new methods, characterized by these that the theorems formulation is much simplified (for the minimum distance method), a intuitive form of enwrapping surfaces, especially for the substitutive circles family method, a simplified enveloping condition for the in plane generating trajectories method.
The methods may be easy used also for a expression in discreetly form of surfaces.
The enveloping surfaces modeling, by presented methods, allow a rigorous expressing of tool’s primary peripheral surface which generates surfaces by enwrapping.
