2021, Computers and Graphics (Pergamon)Citation Excerpt :One main difference of our work lies in the customized tool, which requires specially designed path planning algorithms to explicitly take into account all of its 6 DoFs, where a normal milling bit or a dragging knife only requires the path planning algorithm to manage 5 DoFs. Dragomatz and Mann [32] surveyed general path generation methods used in CNC milling, and Elber and Cohen [33] summarized two main approaches, isocurves and contours, and their strengths and weaknesses. Our method is similar to the isocurve approach, but allows for more flexibility in toolpath generation as we emphasize design expression over machining time or toolpath length.
