Article Preview

Abstract:

Computer numerical control (CNC) machines have been widely used in automotive manufacturing industries especially of machining operation in automotive part such as engine body and cylinder. One of the key features that improve efficiency of CNC machining is through the optimization of tool path. Previous researcher to optimize tool path has premeditated several approaches. This paper aims to provide a critical review of those approaches that have been developed in tool path. The developed tool path approaches covered different types of machining process under various constraints condition. This paper focuses on tool path generation in CNC machining such as milling and cutting process. Based on our finding, this review paper collects information on tool path optimization and recommends future research direction.
