Abstract
Recently, hot processing using the heat source like laser machining and RFS was developed and spreaded gradually. In order to generate tool-path for the proper hot tool, a new tool-path linking algorithm is needed because tool-path linking algorithm for machining can't be applied. In this paper, zigzag tool-path liking algorithm was proposed to generate tool-path automatically for RFS. The algorithm is composed of three steps: 1) Generating valid tool-path element, 2) Storing tool-path elements and creating sub-groups, 3) linking sub-groups. Using the proposed algorithm, CAD/CAM software for the tool-path generation of hot tool was developed. The proposed algorithm was applied and verified for Venus's face and die of cellular phone case.
