Solid Modeling

Description

From the Wikipedia:

"Solid modeling (or modelling) is the unambiguous representation of the solid parts of an object, that is, models of solid objects suitable for computer processing. Other modeling methods include surface models (used extensively in automotive and consumer product design as well as entertainment animation) and wire frame models (which can be ambiguous about solid volume).

Primary uses of solid modeling are for CAD, engineering analysis, computer graphics and animation, rapid prototyping, medical testing, product visualization and visualization of scientific research." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_modeling)
