The cutter location is first determined on the scallop surface instead of the design surface, and then the cutter is adjusted to locate the optimal tool position based on the differential rotation of the tool axis and satisfies the design tolerance simultaneously. The machining strip width and error are calculated with the aid of the grazing curve of the cutter. Based on the proposed tool positioning algorithm, the tool paths are generated by keeping the scallop height formed by adjacent tool paths constant. An example is conducted to confirm the validity of the proposed method. }, journal = {International Journal of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering}, volume = {8}, number = {10}, year = {2014}, pages = {1772 - 1777}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10000254}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/94}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 94, 2014}, }
