Developing a new texture path tool is crucial in 3D industries to automatically manage and set up texture paths for characters and environment modelings. For a better study, I compare the problems, methods and functions of the new tool(SongRepath tool) with other commonly used tools such as File Path Editor, Genie, He Texture Path. Next, I analyze the top down method system for these commonly used tools, and create a new bottom-up algorithm for a better use and efficiency. Finally, analyzing and comparing SongRepath tool with other tools in terms of operation in convenience, steps for results, checking number of Texture files, checking the numbers of new paths, checking the numbers of files not found, checking the numbers of path not changed, errors or problems, and availability of cancelation while proceeding the result. As a result, this study shows that SongRepath tool has less errors and saves more time on the processing works.

Feedrate is one of the factors that have the significant effects on the productivity, qualify and tool life in the cutting mechanism as well as cutting velocity, depth of cut and width of cut. In this study, in order to realize the high-efficient machining, a new feedrate optimization method is proposed based on the concept that the optimum feedrate can be derived from the allowable cutting power since the cutting power can be predicted from the cutting parameters as feedrate, depth of cut, width of cut, chip thickness, engagement angle, rake angle, specific cutting force and so on. Tool paths are extracted from the original NC program via the reverse post-processing process and converted into the infinitesimal tool paths via the interpolation process. And the novel NC program is reconstructed by optimizing the feedrate of infinitesimal tool paths. Especially, the fast feedrate optimization is realized by using the Boolean operation based on the Goldfeather CSG rendering algorithm, and the simulation results reveal the availability of the proposed optimization method dramatically reducing the cutting time and/or the optimization time. As a result, the proposed optimization method will go far toward improving the productivity and qualify.

A new efficient intelligent machining strategy named the Steepest Directed Tree method is presented in this study, which makes surface model discrete with triangulation meshes and the cutter paths track along the tree directions. In order to formulate these algorithms practically, it is deduced the multi-stage machining approach of uncut volume caused by cutter gouging in the course of milling using flat end mill. It is systematized the checking process the cutter interference by grouping the 6 kinds of gouging types, which yields the environment of connectivity data lists including CL-data, and then the multi-stage machining strategy, that minimizes uncut area by continuously sequencing the generative subsequent CL-paths, is shamed to determine the second tool path for the next uncut area and to compose the operating multi-stage cutting processes. The completed machining system of curved surfaces is evaluated by testing the practical machining experiments which have various kinds of shape conditions.

This paper presents a new paradigm for 3-axis tool path generation based on an incomplete 2-manifold mesh model, namely, an inexact polyhedron. When geometric data is transferred from one system to another system and tessellated for tool path generation, the model does not have any topological data between meshes and facets. In contrast to the existing polyhedral machining approach, the proposed method generates tool paths from an incomplete 2-manifold mesh model. In order to generate gouge-free tool paths, CL-meshes are generated by offsetting boundary edges, boundary vertices, and facets. The CL-meshes are sliced by machining planes and the calculated intersections are sorted, trimmed, and linked. The grid method is used to reduce the computing time when range searching problems arise. The method is fully implemented and verified by machining an incomplete 2-manifold mesh model.

스텔스 게임 레벨 디자이너는 다양한 난이도의 흥미로운 게임환경(레벨)을 제작해야 한다. J. Temblay와 공동 연구자들은 이 과정의 자동화를 돕는 Unity-기반 레벨 디자인 툴을 개발했다. 이 툴은 디자이너가 지도에서 경비병의 경로, 속도, 감시 영역, 플레이어의 출발점과 도착점 등 여러 게임 요소들을 입력하면 플레이어가 취할 수 있는 가능한 경로들을 포함한 다양한 시뮬레이션 결과들을 보여준다. 이를 이용해 디자이너는 현재의 게임 요소들이 자신이 의도한 난이도 및 플레이어 경로를 만드는지 실시간으로 확인할 수 있고, 필요한 경우 이들을 조정할 수 있게 되었다. 여기서는 두 가지 면에서 이 툴의 개선점을 제시한다. 첫째, 디자이너가 몇 개의 지점을 입력하면 이 지점들을 포함하는 흥미로운 경비병의 감시 경로를 난이도별로 추천해주는 기능을 추가해서 레벨 디자인 툴로서의 편의성과 유용성을 높였다. 둘째, 기존의 충돌 체크 함수 및 RRT-기반 경로 탐색 함수를 새로운 충돌 체크 함수와 델로네 로드맵-기반 경로 탐색 함수로 대체하여 시뮬레이션 속도를 크게 향상시켰다.

An efficient algorithm is proposed to select the proper tools and generate their paths for NC rough cutting of dies and molds with sculptured surfaces. Even though a milling process consists of roughing, semi-finishing, and finishing, most material is removed by a rough cutting process. Therfore it can be said that the rough cutting process occupy an important portion of the NC milling process, and accordingly, an efficient rough cutting method contributes to an efficient milling process. In order work, the following basic assumption is accepted for the efficient machining. That is, to machine a region bounded by a profile, larger tools should be used in the far inside and the region adjacent to relatively simple portion of the boundary while smaller tools are used in the regions adjacent to the relatively complex protion. Thus the tools are selected based on the complexity of the boundary profile adjacent to the region to be machined. An index called cutting path ratio is proposed in this work as a measure of the relative complexity of the profile with respect to a tool diameter. Once the tools are selected, their tool paths are calculated starting from the largest to the smallest tool.

This paper describes an interpolation method for a parametric surface. A parametric surface is approximated to triangular mesh surfaces and then the basic paths are achieved. As the generated path is a series of linear segments, this algorithm can be easily adapted to general NC controllers. The generated paths have minimal transfer length and are gouge-free within the approximation tolerance. The problems, induced when the paths are represented by linear segments, are overcome without making any path deviation by this algorithm. This algorithm saves machining time by eliminating overdetermined tool paths and keeping the desired average feedrate, which improve productivity and lead to lower production costs.

Based on the minimum cutting time criteria, the tool path generation algorithm of a pocket machining is developed as a form of a built-in cycle for the WOP(workshop oriented programming) of a CNC controller. Based on the given CAD database and tool information, an optimal cutting depth and geometric properties can be generated, then six different tool paths will be generated internally and automatically. Finally, the G code which commands tool movements is generated for CNC machining.
