Abstract
In this paper, we demonstrate a Hybrid Manufacturing software-HybridCAM. HybridCAM provides a variety of tool path generation methods for sculpture surfaces. The tool path patterns include contour-parallel pattern, zigzag pattern, and helical pattern. HybridCAM can input multiple format of models, such as IGS, STL, and STP, and can be applied to multi-axis Additive Manufacturing (AM) and multi-axis Subtractive Manufacturing (SM). We present several tool path patterns for different parts and different applications generated by HybridCAM. An actual experiment was carried out to verity the feasibility and practicality of the software.
