Dear RP-people,
Besides LMT techniques like LOM, FDM, MJM and KIRA-PLT we are using
a lot of milling. We use 3- , 3+2- and 5 axis milling with MIKRON
HSM 700, MIKRON VCP710 and JOBS-JoTECH machines. Our question is
related to this area:
Is there anybody who is reading this mailing list who can tell me
(pref. exactly) how millingpaths are calculated on a solid or
a (free-form) surface. I know that sometimes this is done by
projecting patches on the surfaces but i don't know this exactly and if
there are other ways. I need this because we are doing a investigation in this
area. I'm interested in an explanation and also in any books or
articles on this subject.
Many thanks in advance from Holland and if anybody is interested i
will of course share the answers.
