Designing and controlling complex shapes, such as porous volumes and rough surfaces, poses significant challenges. However, fractal geometry offers an intriguing approach that significantly simplifies this problem. While the underlying concepts may limit the set of possible shapes, they produce a remarkable variety of intricate forms.

In this book, we introduce a formalism for designing such complex objects for geometric aided geometry design applications. Our primary objective is to enable end users to manipulate fractal objects using standard tools available in CAD systems, treating them as regular Euclidean objects. This formalism encompasses a wide range of shapes, including curves, surfaces, volumes, as well as NURBS and subdivision surfaces.

Throughout the book, we delve into both theoretical and practical aspects, covering the entire design process from conception to 3D printing. We provide comprehensive explanations and illustrations to facilitate a deep understanding of fractal geometry and its applications in geometric design.

By leveraging the power of fractal geometry, designers can create intricate and precise shapes that were previously difficult or impossible to achieve. This formalism opens up new possibilities for creating innovative designs, improving efficiency, and pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the field of geometric design. Whether you are an experienced designer or a newcomer to the field, this book will provide you with the knowledge and tools you need to harness the power of fractal geometry and create stunning, complex shapes.
