Abstract:Focusing on the clean-up tool path generation for multi-patch solid model, a new efficient and robust searching approach is presented in this paper. The multi-patch solid model is considered as an integrated object other than dealing with surfaces on the solid model. The initial points are selected on the part surface in the physical domain, and then the points are converted into the parametric domain to determine the search center and the search direction. After that, the search operation is carried out in th… Show more
