This paper reports a novel method to generate adaptive spiral tool path for the CNC machining of complex sculptured surface represented in the form of cloud of points without the need for surface fitting. The algorithm initially uses uniform 2 D circular mesh-grid to compute the cutter location (CL) points by applying the tool inverse offset method (IOM). These CL points are refined adaptively till the surface form errors converge below the prescribed tolerance limits in both circumferential and radial directions. They are further refined to eliminate the redundancy in machining and generate optimum region wise tool path to minimize the tool lifts. The NC part programs generated by our algorithm were widely tested for different case studies using the commercial CNC simulator as well as by the actual machining trial. Finally, a comparative study was done between our developed system and the commercial CAM software. The results showed that our system is more efficient and robust in terms of the obtained surface quality, productivity, and memory requirement.

In order to meet the needs of enterprises for chamfering complex parts, based on the customization of commercial CAD/CAM software, chamfer programming software is developed. According to user’s machining demands for a part, a chain of edges of a part is extracted from its 3D model. With preprocessing of the chain of edges, the continuity of the chain is estimated, and the start and end point of those edges are automatic obtained. Furthermore, with human-machine dialogue, machining parameters is set by users. By definition of the primary and secondary surfaces of the chain of edges, and interpolation of the edges, the positions of cutter location point and postures of cutter are calculated. Finally the interference of tool path is checked, and tool path is simulated. The software solves the programming problem of chamfering complex parts.

Architectural design is one of those areas that have actively employed interactive design tools such as CAD/CAM software. In order to add a realistic view of the design results in the 3D work process, there have been several recent attempts to employ a virtual reality technology that allows architects to explore design in 3D space. However, VR’s weakness is that common interaction tasks, such as navigation and selection, are still not supported conveniently in 3D space. In addition, VR devices are generally unfamiliar to the average person and are too expensive to use. This paper presents a VR framework that makes the design task easily achieved by employing a PDA interface for a VR interaction applied to street-view emotional color design problems.

With the development of scroll technology, the requirements of more efficient and more accurate processing method for scroll compressor parts become more urgent. This paper proposes a method to improve the machining effect of scroll compressor. The approach is based on 3-point arc approximation method which divides combined profile of scroll wrap into subparagraph arcs that can be interpolated on CNC System. This approach simplifies the programming process and improves the curve fitting effect. The results indicate that the fitting error is in the predetermined range, and the interpolation points of cutter center track are significantly less than those based on CAD/CAM software. The method presented in this paper is of significance to the NC machining of novel precise scroll profile.

This thesis presents a newly developed system for simulation and control of reconfigurable machines and applications in the polishing process. A software package is developed that consists of the Varying Topology Simulation and Control System (VT-Sim) as well as the Polishing CAM (P-CAM) software system. VT-Sim can simulate and control reconfigurable machines of serial or tree structures. It is developed based on mechatronic modules, each of which has a graphic user interface that can be connected to a physical module. The selected modules are linked through a graph-based topology design platform to generate an assembled system together with the equations for simulation and control. P-CAM can simulate and generate CNC codes for the polishing process. The roughness of the polished parts is simulated for selected polishing parameters. Once satisfied, polishing tool paths can be generated and visualized.
