Tool-path generation for machining sculptured surface
Journal of Materials Processing Technology, 1995Abstract In NC machining of sculptured surfaces, the machining efficiency of curvature catering method is much higher than traditional ones using ball-ended or drum-shaped tools. However, in order to get the best result of utilizing curvature catering method, great attentions have to be paid to the arragement of tool traces, for the sensitivity of ...

HybridCAM: Tool Path Generation Software for Hybrid Manufacturing
2017In this paper, we demonstrate a Hybrid Manufacturing software-HybridCAM. HybridCAM provides a variety of tool path generation methods for sculpture surfaces. The tool path patterns include contour-parallel pattern, zigzag pattern, and helical pattern. HybridCAM can input multiple format of models, such as IGS, STL, and STP, and can be applied to multi ...

Generation of Tool Path in Fused Filament Fabrication
2021Additive manufacturing is the process of making a physical part using digital data in the form of CAD model by depositing material layer over layer. Additive manufacturing market is increasing rapidly as it can manufacture the most complex part in comparison with subtractive manufacturing processes.

An AI tool: Generating paths for racing game
2008 International Conference on Machine Learning and Cybernetics, 2008In this paper, we propose an AI tool for generating plausible paths of racers based on the A* algorithm. User can define the race by providing a race course of 3D model and weights of the devised turn and heuristic functions in our system. The search space for path-finding is represented by a grid.

Tool-path generation of planar NURBS curves
Robotics and Computer-Integrated Manufacturing, 2010It has been widely used in CAD field for many years and gradually applied in CAM area with the prevalence of NURBS interpolator equipped in CNC controllers. But few of them provide the tool radius compensation function. In order to achieve the goal of generating tool-path, an algorithm was presented to offset NURBS curves by an optimum process for CAD ...

Tool Path Generation for Flexible Blade Cutting
2000Free Form Thick Layered Object Manufacturing FF-TLOM is based on application of a reshapeable cutting device, which allows a free form shaping of thick polystyrene foam layers. Once manufactured, these layers are stacked to produce a physical model. Tool path generation for the heated flexible blade tool is a challenging task, since it influences the ...

Tool-Path Generation for Fractal Curve Making
International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology, 2002In the paper, a new data structure, called the radial–annular tree (RAT) structure, is proposed and implemented to bridge the gaps between CAD, RP, and fractal geometry. A typical fractal curve, the Koch snowflake curve, will be examined in detail.

Flexible Tool-path Generation for Variable Geometry
2011Assembled components often exhibit slight geometric variations from CAD nominal positions. In such cases, there is a desire to retain the expert knowledge of experienced manufacturing engineers using advanced CAM tool path planning software, while enabling adjustment of the tool paths to accommodate the actual measured assembly geometry.

Tool-path generation for clean-up machining
1998The purpose of clean-up machining is to remove uncut volumes, which are left at concave regions after finish-machining, by employing small-size cutters. The clean-up UMOs to be discussed in this chapter are the fillet-cut [BEM] and pencil-cut [BEM], where BEM denotes ball-endmill cutter.
