Abstract

A variety of on-going research is focused on the development and analysis of methods to decrease the time required to progress from the computer modeling of the design surface to the machining while maintaining or improving the quality of the surface. One of the most important areas is tool path planning for numerical control (NC) machining. The main goal is obtaining the cutter location and orientation data that allow for an efficient surface milling within an allowed machining error.
