Abstract
Applications of Laguerre geometry to computer aided geometric design are presented, realized through Minkowski actions. Basic Laguerre geometry is first discussed. Then quaternions, set multiplication, and the use of quaternion sets to define Minkowski actions are described and used to achieve results used in geometric design.
