NURBS surface modeling technique is an important part of computer aided industrial design(CAID), and surface modeling has much advantage. This thesis bases on the statistics and comparison of current CAID practical application methods and techniques, concludes the common CAID techniques, the thinking methods and application process of surface categorization in surface modeling from the basic theory of NURBS surface modeling; and together with concrete cases, this thesis also proposes an solution for the common hard problems in the process of using NURBS technique to build 3D product models.
