Iso-scallop tool path generation in 5-axis milling

This paper presents a new method of computing constant scallop height tool paths in 5-axis milling on sculptured surfaces. Usually, iso-scallop tool paths computation methods are based on approximations. The attempted scallop height is modelled in a given plane to ensure a fast computation of the tool path. We propose a different approach, based on the concept of the machining surface, which en...

a new method for tool-path generation and adaptive interpolation of a three-axis cnc milling machine

in this paper we present a new method for tool-path generation and adaptive interpolation for a three-axis cnc milling machine. this method satisfied the force and / or the error conditions by using a variable-direction variable-feedrate strategy based on maximum feedrate map. the proposed adaptive interpolator modifies the cutting path and the moving direction according to the actual instantan...

Automatic Tool Path Generation for Multi-axis Machining Automatic Tool Path Generation for Multi-axis Machining Chapter 4: Tool Path Generation Strategy

We present a novel approach to CAD/CAM integration for multi-axis machining. Instead of redefining the workpiece in terms of machining features, we generate tool paths directly by analyzing the accessibility of the surface of the part. This eliminates the problem of feature extraction. We envision this as the core strategy of a new direct and seamless CAD/ CAM system. We perform the accessibili...

A generic uniform scallop tool path generation method for five-axis machining of freeform surface

In this paper, a generic uniform scallop tool path generation method for five-axis machining is presented. Unlike the conventionalmethodswhich are based on the local surface geometry assumptions, thismethod is inspired by cutting simulation. Initially, the designed surface is planted with dense grasses. If a cutter is put onto the surface, the affected grasses will be cut short. All the affecte...
