Triangle-mesh based cutter-workpiece engagement extraction for general milling processes

This thesis presents a novel geometric modeling methodology of cutter-workpiece engagement extraction for general milling processes. Cutter-workpiece engagement (CWE) geometry is the instantaneous contact area between the cutter and the in-process workpiece. It defines how the cutting edge enters...
