Software Simulation of 5-Axis CNC Milling using Multidirectional Heightmaps

Machinists often simulate a part program to verify its correctness, since mistakes can cause damage to the part, machine, oneself, or others. A popular approach for part program simulation involves representing the stock (the material the part is being carved from) as a heightmap. Although this appr...
