    This document discusses different types of surface modeling techniques used in CAD/CAM systems. It describes analytical surface entities like planes, ruled surfaces, surfaces of revolution, and tabulated cylinders which are defined by equations. It also covers synthetic surface entities like Bezier, B-spline, Coons patches, and fillet surfaces which are defined by control points and interpolate between boundary curves. These surface modeling techniques are used to model complex shapes and for applications like finite element analysis, interference checking, and tool path generation.
