	  abstract     = {This paper was aimed at developing a computer aided
design and manufacturing system for spatial cylindrical cams. In the
proposed system, a milling tool with a diameter smaller than that of the
roller, instead of the standard cutter for traditional machining process,
was used to generate the tool path for spatial cams. To verify the
feasibility of the proposed method, a multi-axis machining simulation
software was further used to simulate the practical milling operation of
spatial cams. It was observed from computer simulation that the tool
path of small-sized cutter were within the motion range of a standard
cutter, no occurrence of overcutting. Examination of a finished cam
component clearly verifies the accuracy of the tool path generated for
small-sized milling tool. It is believed that the use of small-sized cutter
for the machining of the spatial cylindrical cams can generate a better
surface morphology with higher accuracy. The improvement in
efficiency and cost for the manufacturing of the spatial cylindrical cam
can be expected through the proposed method.},
