Efficient Volume-Generation During the Simulation of NC-Milling

This paper presents an efficient and robust algorithm for the geometric determination of swept volumes during the simulation of numerical controlled (NC-) milling. The boundary Ψ of the volume swept by a cutter Φ is represented polygonally by using instantaneous helical motions to exactly determine the line of contact between Φ and Ψ.
