Mesh-based tool path calculations for tubular joints

Manufacturing of large steel tube structures is faced with excessive welding, fit-up and rework times in tube joints, due to various types of deviation from nominal shape of the tubes. This article presents a procedure and geometry calculus for generating cutting and welding paths based on measured...
