This report describes an integrated approach to sculptured surface design and manufacture, and a software package for it on a multi-axis NC milling machine. The integrated software consists of four parts : (1) surface fitting procedure for generating the characteristic polyhedron from 3 dimensional CMM data, (2) surface description for generating the mathematical representation of sculptured surfaces. (3) tool path generation for approximating the surface representation into a sequence of linear cutter paths, and (4) tool control for generating the corresponding joint variable values. This integrated approach is generally applicable to sculptured surface manufacturing where multi-axis milling machines are necessary to produce smooth three-dimensional surfaces.

Curve-net interpolation surface is one of the most popular method in engineering design. Therefore it is supported with many commercial CAD/CAM system. However, construction algorithm of curve-net interpolation surfaces is rarely opened to the public because of its copy-right. In this paper we establish a construction algorithm of curve-net interpolation surface so called sweeping surface which especially concentrates on trajectory of cross-section curve. We also show the method which can construct sweeping surfaces as NURB or Bezier mathematical models. Surfaces having the form of standard mathematical models are very useful for the application of joining, trimming, blending etc. The proposed surface interpolation scheme consists of four steps; (1) preparation of guide curves and section curves, (2) remeshing guide curves and section curves, (3) blending section curves after deformation, and (4) determination of control points for sweeping surface using gordon method. The proposed method guarantee $G^1$-continuety, and construct the surface salifying given section curves and trajectory of section curves.

Xmas(eXtensibla MAin memory Storage system)는 데이터의 지속성, 트랜잭션 스케쥴링, 동시성 제어, 회복 관리 등의 기능을 지원하는 주메모리 저장시스템이다. 최근 지리 정보 관리, CAD/CAM, 멀티미디어 등과 같은 새로운 데이터베이스 응용 분야가 증가하고 있다. 이런 응용분야들에서는 단순한 정수형, 실수형, 문자형 데이터 뿐만 아니라, 복잡한 다차원 공간 데이터를 빠르고 효율적으로 처리하는 것이 필요하다. 이런 공간 데이터는 그 크기가 가변적이어서 데이터베이스에서 이를 효율적으로 처리하기 위해서는 가변 길이 필드를 지원해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 Xmas의 고정 길이 필드 저장 구조를 활용하여 Xmas에서 가변 길이 필드를 지원하는 방법을 제안한다. 가변 길이 데이터를 고정 길이의 단위로 여럿으로 분할하여 Xmas의 고정 길이필드 저장 구조를 활용하여 저장함으로써, Xmas를 크게 변화시키지 않고 가변 길이 필드를 쉽게 지원할 수 있다. 또한, 가변 길이 필드에 대한 관리를 위해 스키마에 추가되는 정보에 대해 기술한다.

The main goal of our research is to compensate the milled surface errors induced by the tool deflection effects, which occur during the milling process. First, we predict cutting forces and tool deflection amount. Based on predicted deflection effects, we model milled surface shapes. We present a compensation methodology , which can generate a new tool trajectory, which is determined so as to compensate the milled surface errors. By considering manufacturing tolerance, tool path compensation is generalized. To validate the approaches proposed in this paper, we treat an illustrative example of profile milling process by using flat end mill. Simulation and experimental results are shown.

Presented in this paper is an algorithm to obtain the intersections of a polyhedral surface composed of triangle facets with a series of parallel planes for extracting machining information from the surface. The change of the topology of the intersection curves is caused by characteristic points of the surface when sectioning the surface with parallel planes. The characteristic points are internal maximum, internal minimum, internal saddle, boundary maximum, boundary minimum, boundary max-saddle, and boundary min-saddle points. The starting points of the intersects are found efficiently and robustly using the characteristic points. The characteristic points as well as the intersection contours can be used to evaluate the machining information for process planning, and to generate NC tool path in CAD/CAM system.

Surface/surface intersection is a common and important problem in geometric modeling and CAD/CAM. Several methods have been used to approach this problem. All possible intersection curves can be obtained by using the subdivision algorithm, while it requires a great deal of memory and is somewhat inefficient. The tracing algorithm is much faster than the subdivision algorithm, and can find points on the intersection curve sequentially. But, the tracing algorithm has some problems in the intersection curves on surface boundaries. In this paper, an Improved tracing algorithm that includes some ideas such as a new trace-terminating condition for the intersection curves on surface boundaries, detecting closed intersections and extension for composite surfaces is suggested. This algorithm consists of three step: generating state points for curve tracing, tracing intersection curves and sorting pieces of the intersection curves. The results of this algorithm and comparisons to the 'DESIGNBASE' and 'ACIS' system are presented.

In the metal cutting, machining accuracies had affected by tool deflection that had been generated by acting cutting force on the cutting edges. Generally, the CAD/CAM and a solid modeler had used for the simulation of cutting process only. Some NC codes for metal cutting have been generated by these simulation results. But, machining errors that had generated by the tool deflection has not solved using these system. In this study, determination algorithm for integration zone has been studied using the commercial solid modeler. The tool deflection error has calculated by the integration zone between the small chip and the cutting edges.

Photochemical and photothermal effects have correlation with each other and depend on laser wavelength. Multi-scanning laser ablation process of polymer with DPSS(Diode Pumped Solid State) 3rd harmonic Nd:YVO$_4$ laser with wavelength of 355nm is applied to fabricate three-dimensional micro shape. The DPSSL photomachining system can rapidly and cheaply fabricate 2D pattern or 3D shape with high efficiency because we only use CAD/CAM software and precision stages instead of complex projection mask. Photomachinability of polymer is highly influenced by laser wavelength and its own chemical structure. So the optical characteristics of polymers for 355nm laser source is investigated by experimentally and theoretically.

This paper presents an integrated machining error compensation method based on PNN(Polynomial Neural Network) approach and inspection database of OMM(On-Machine-Measurement) system. To efficiently analyze the machining errors, two machining error parameters are defined and modeled using the PNN approach, which is used to determine machining errors for the considered cutting conditions. Experiments are carried out to validate the approaches proposed in this paper. In result, the proposed methods can be effectively implemented in a real machining situation, producing much fewer errors.
