Abstract

The modeling of swept volume is important in simulating the interference between a moving solid and its environment. This article presents a novel method for modeling swept voume by computing a family of critical curves from a moving solid. Based on this approach, a system has been developed for real-time verification of NC tool paths using computer graphics.
