An Integrated System for NC Machining of Multi-Patch Surfaces

Abstract

We describe an integrated system for NC machining of parts made of multi-patch surfaces. The system enables the user to generate tool paths based on practical metrics such as length, curvature and number of tool paths. We also describe two methods for interfacing with commercial CAD/CAM packages.
