Abstract

The paper presents a systematic scheme for the development offeasible tool-paths for machining sculptured surfaces on multi-axisNC machine. Here, this problem is enhanced up to cases where theactual value of the angle µ could be of arbitrary value. Thereported approach is based on application of the characteristicsurfaces of novel kind. The characteristic surfaces of the newlydiscovered kind are referred to as the characteristic R-surfaces.The reported solution to the problem is based on implementation ofthe DG/K-method of surface generation. The effectiveness of theproposed approach is verified from numerical simulation.
