A roughing process is one of the most important and indispensable shoe manufacturing processes of various types of shoes. This basic process to rough the upper of the shoe is studied to improve the productivity and to reduce the processing time. In this study, the CAM system for shoe roughing is developed. The B-spline surface generated by the developed CAM system ignores the small inclinations of the real roughing surface because the developed roughing tool has potential to rough the roughing surface of the shoe properly. The roughing tool roughs the roughing surface using its side along the generated tool paths. The generated NC codes were applied to 5-axis polishing machine for the test. Experimental results show good evaluation result. The upper of the shoe is roughed properly along the roughing path line and the roughing surface was good to cement the outsole of the shoe.

Developed in this research is a CAM system for 5-axis NC Machining of sculptured surfaces. We identify problems in generating 5-axis NC data and propose methods of overcoming them. Issues discussed in this paper are: kinematic modelling of NC machines; determination of cutter position (location and orientation); check of machine work-range; linear trajectory plann- ing ; calculation of feedrate number. The proposed system has been implemented in FORTRAN77 on the Personal IRIS EWS, and it also constitutes a module of the CAD/CAM system 'CASSET' developed in KIST CAD/CAM lab.

Shoe with leather upper such as safety and golf shoe requires a roughing process where the upper is roughed fur helping outsole to be cemented well. It is an important and basic process for production of leather shoe but is not automated yet. Thus, there are problems that the defect rate is high and the quality of roughed surface is not uniform. In order to solve such problems, the interest in automation of roughing process is being increased and this paper introduces CAM system for 5-axis automatic roughing machine as one part of automation of roughing process. The CAM system developed interpolates a B-spline curve using points measured from the Roughing Path Measurement System. The B-spline curve is used to generate the tool path and orientation data fer a roughing tool which has not only stiffness but also flexibility to rough the inclined surface efficiently. For productivity, the upper of shoe is machined by side of the roughing tool and tool offset is applied to the roughing tool for machining of inclined surface. The generated NC code was applied to 5-axis polishing machine for the test. The upper of shoe was roughed well along the roughing path data from CAM and the roughed surface was proper fur cementing of the outsole.
