The Programming and Use of Numerical Control to Machine Sculptured Surfaces

  • Chapter
Proceedings of the Fourteenth International Machine Tool Design and Research Conference

Summary

Shapes traditionally thought of as being difficult to program for numerical control can be and are being cut economically in hard materials to close tolerances. This has been made possible by the joint development of the machining technology and the computer programs through close collaboration between workshops, programmers and mathematicians.
