Abstract
The study deals with five-axis control tool path generation for the sculptured surface machining with a conicoid end mill. In general, ball end mills are utilized for the sculptured surface machining. However, it takes much time to finish such complicated surfaces with high accuracy due to the necessity of small amount of pick feed, which causes the reduction in machining efficiency. Thus, special cutting tools called conicoid end mill were devised to meet the requirement of relatively large amount of pickfeed. The adequate selection of tool attitude allows a large amount of pick feed, and yields good surface quality in surface finishing.
