Abstract

This paper presents the analyses of Auto CAD plot file for carving machine. The plot file is first analyzed and then sorted to properly perform a sequence of the line segments. The experimental results show that this technique can improve the carving performance, reduce the operating time, and save the tool and machine’s lifetime. In addition, this proposed technique can also be extended to apply for other coordinate machines.
