Abstract

A study on the construction of a CAD/CAM system operated by 16 Bit PC basic language, for machining sculptured surface of die, was carried out. The system consists of 2 steps i.e., process for geometric modelling by wire frame and process for machining data generation. Geometric modelling for sculptured surface is made by the point data fitting, parallel sweeping, normal sweeping and linear connection of cross section curve. Machining data are gained by cutter off-set of geometric model data and machining carried out by DNC. This system is to be proved enough for rough cutting by actual machining experiment. But, for becoming a high level system, another method of cutter off-set has to be regarded and system must be reconstructed by another program language.
