Abstract: A new approach on cutter path generation for plane milling is
proposed. The cutter feed status at the position of each grid
mesh can be determined by using a specific algorithm consisting
of data processing and some heuristic rules. From the cutter
feed status and the coordinates of the grid meshes, the cutter
path for milling plane can be generated.
Key words: Cutter
path Grid mesh Characteristic value Feed status
