โœฆ Synopsis


This paper presents a method to improve the machining efficiency for 5-axis surface machining with a flat-end cutter. In the proposed method, the cutter paths are scheduled so that the scallop height formed by two adjacent machining paths is maintained constant. Along each machining path, the inclination angle of the flat-end cutter is tuned adaptively so that the cutter-path interval can be chosen as large as possible. With the adaptively cutter-inclined iso-scallop method, the machining path length required to finish the part surface is minimized.
