Abstract: Based on observations made on the geometry of the cutting tools and the degrees of freedom in 3-, 4-, 5-axis numerical control machines, a new class of geometric algorithms is induced on the ...

Abstract: The visibility of a surface has wide applications in manufacturing, where accessibility of the workpiece to the processing agent is of critical importance. A surface is visible to a direction ...

Abstract: For some assembly structures, parallel disassembly of components is necessary in order to reach a particular internal component. Due to the large number of possible combinations, the parallel ...
