Abstract

An approach is presented to generate rough interference-free tool-paths directly from massive unorganized data in rough machining that is performed by machining volumes of material in a slice-by-slice manner.Unorganized point-cloud is firstly converted to cross-section data.Then a robust dam-structure named tool-path net is constructed to save tool-path data.Optimal algorithms for partitioning sub-cut-areas and computing interference-free cutter-locations are put forward.Finally the tool-paths are linked in a zigzag milling mode,which can be transformed into a traveling sales man problem.The experiment indicates optimal tool paths can be acquired,and high computation efficiency can be obtained and interference can be avoided successfully.
