description

To verify NC programs as well to optimize the cutting conditions, it is very important to simulate machining process more precisely. The diffusion of electronic realistic representation systems of mechanical pieces suggests us to use them in order to realize a virtual simulation of the cutting tests for a milling machine Our task was to create a software which can directly read and interpret the part program and display it using a CAD solid modeler which, considering the effective geometry of the tool and of the workpiece, can simulate cutting forces behaviour during a milling process.
