The availability of high speed automatic tool change mechanisms in modem CNC machining centers is making it practical to consider the use of multiple cutting-tool (specifically, flat end-mill) sizes to reduce the total time for machining a 24D pocket. However, current CAD/CAM systems do not support
This paper describes an efficient method to find the lowest cost tool sequence for rough machining free-form pockets on a 3-axis milling machine. The free-form pocket is approximated to within a predefined tolerance of the desired surface using series of 2.5-D layers of varying thicknesses that can
