This paper presents an algorithm for calculating the volume of a 2D-profile, accessible by a given diameter of milling cutter. The method is independent of the generation of cutter tool paths, and exploits facilities commonly found in kernel modellers. Exact results are obtained despite the simplicity of the procedure. As a proof of the concept, the algorithms have been implemented in the Herio...

In the process of high-efficiency milling, due to impact plunge caused by intermittent cutting milling cutter, there is a high frequency and small vibration between cutter workpiece. this paper, we construct transient model for tools under action vibration, analyze factors influencing consistency machined surface error its distribution. The design variables distribution are obtained, significan...

5-Axis machining has been widely used in manufacturing of complex ruled geometries in automobile, aerospace, energy, and mould industries. Compared with traditional 3-axis machining, this machining operation offers better shaping capability and productivity with additional degrees of freedom in the tool motion. Tool path planning is a challenging task in most 5-axis machining operations, with t...

The aim of the study is to model cutting edges, front and rear surfaces, pitch teeth surface a milling cutter with variable radius for processing holes an equiaxed contour. In process modeling, method compiling mathematical models technological processes obtaining surfaces parts by was used. As result, equations edges cutter, producing were obtained, parametric constructed, conclusions drawn.

Different cutter path patterns have been shown to be efficient for different types of pocket geometries. However, for certain types of complex pockets, no single type of pattern produces efficient cutter paths throughout the pocket. In this paper, different cutter path patterns are systematically analysed and several existing heuristics for selecting cutter path patterns are discussed. Based on...
