clippoint

Clippoint is a term used in multiple domains, without a single, universal definition. Its meaning depends on context and usage, and it is sometimes adopted as a brand or product name.

In knife terminology, the established term is clip point, describing a blade with a clipped-tip profile that creates a sharp point while preserving blade strength. Some makers style the branding as Clippoint, but that usage is marketing rather than a separate technical term.

In computer graphics and geometry, clip point can refer to a coordinate or boundary where geometry is clipped by a clipping region. Clipping algorithms determine which points lie inside or outside a clip boundary, producing the clipped output used in rendering or spatial analysis.

In media editing, the term is often used informally to denote the moment at which a clip begins or ends. Editing tools implement in and out points; some interfaces may refer to these as clip points, though terminology varies by software.

In branding and product names, Clippoint has been used by various firms as a company name or product line. Its precise meaning is therefore context-dependent and not standardized across industries.
