Abstract

The toolpath generation for 3D shaped parts with adaptive isocurve is more precise than existing methods, and the machining time can be reduced. Whether adaptive isocurves are inserted or not is determined by the surface shape, but the number of curves inserted and the total path length vary with initial step lengths. In this paper, therefore, by introducing the concept of the scale factor into the initial path interval ; toolpath was regenerated.
