In SolidWorks, a boundary surface is used to create complex shapes by defining the surface with two or more curves or edges. This feature allows for precise control over the geometry, enabling smooth and continuous surfaces. Unlike lofted surfaces, which connect multiple profiles along a path, boundary surfaces are defined directly between curves, making them ideal for intricate designs. They differ from extruded or revolved surfaces, which create simpler shapes, and from fill surfaces, which only fill closed boundaries. Boundary surfaces are widely used in product design, automotive, and aerospace applications for creating ergonomic and aerodynamic components. Their flexibility and control make them essential for advanced modeling tasks in SolidWorks.
