Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to provide an overview of tool-path generation and validation for sculptured surface machining (SSM). Major topics to be discussed in this chapter include: (1) issues in planning tool-path topology and selecting milling-strategy options, (2) tool-path resolution planning, (3) CL-data computation, (4) cutter-interference handling, (5) basics of cutting simulation and NC verification, and (6) issues in cutting condition determination.
