Numerically Controlled Machining of Freeform Curves Using Biarc Approximation

To machine a shape incorporating freeform curves, the free-form curves must be approximated and represented in a form suitable for numerically controlled (NC) tool-path generation. Instead of the commonly used line segment approximation, a new method using biarc approximation is presented here. The...
