Abstract in different language:	The use of minimal energy spline (MES) curves in shape design produces smooth geometry. This paper describes a prototype system implementing such a technology for solids design. The section curves of three-dimensional solids is designed using the MES curves incorporating constraint management technology for both unilateral and bilateral geometric constraints. A new shape design method, the mold cavity deformation, is developed to mimic the force-based deformation process inside a mold cavity. It is conejctured that this suite of intuitive (reality mimicking) and interactive design tools would allow stylists to work more effectively on the creative aspects of the design.
