Tool-Path Scheduling for Free-Form Surface Based on MasterCAM

Article Preview

Abstract:

The tool-path generating methods of roughing and finishing provided by MasterCAM were systematically analyzed including their features and applications. Then a blade with freeform surface milled by different tool-paths was simulated. According to the comparison of simulation effects and information, the flow-line tool-path was proposed to be optimal for machining blade with freeform surface. Finally, the blade was finished with optimal tool-path using a 3-axis NC milling machine.
