Abstract: This paper presents a method for geometric machinability analysis. The implementation of the strategy determines the machinability of a part being processed using a plurality of 3-axis machining ...

Abstract: This paper presents a method for determining feasible axes of rotation for setup planning, based on the visibility of a polyhedral model. The intent of this work was to develop a feature-free ...

Abstract: A method for rapid computer numerically controlled (CNC) machining is being developed in an effort to automatically create functional prototypes and parts in a wide array of materials. The ...
