Based on analyzing the existing algorithms, a novel tool path generation of 2D contour considering stock boundary is presented. Firstly the boundary points of stock are obtained by three-dimensional measuring machine. And the boundary curve is constructed by method of features identifying. The stock boundary is offset toward outside with tool diameter. An enclosed region is formed between the contour curves and the offset curves of stock boundary. The tool path is generated by form of parallel spiral by offsetting the stock boundary in the enclosed region. Finally the validity of present method is demonstrated by an example.
