...Zezhong C. Chen; Wei Cai To address a major technical challenge in simulating geometric models of machined sculptured surfaces in three-axis virtual machining, this paper presents an efficient, accurate approach to representing the 3D envelopes of a cutter sweeping sequentially through cutter...

... that a detailed model of the machine can be used in the design phase but it also represents a useful tool for establishing the setting-up parameters for the CNC and drives, avoiding a time consuming trial and error procedure. By modeling extended to the machine, tool, and cutting process, the virtual machining...
