Solid modelling

Solid modelling (or modeling) is the unambiguous representation of the solid parts of an object, that is, models of solid objects suitable for computer processing. It is also known as volume modelling. Other modelling 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).
