Abstract
This paper presents a simple method for normalizing poses of CAD meshes or polygonization of CAD models. Since CAD models involve many extrusion features, we find normalized poses by voting this extruding direction. This approach can easily capture a normalized pose for the CAD meshes, whereas PCA-based methods are misaligned for most cases and the result is free from numerical errors. This paper also demonstrates our method is efficient for several applications to CAD and voxel-based mesh generation.
