  • Abstract
    A controller that produces sculptured surfaces from a small input without postprocessing is presented. It generates straight lines, circular arcs, and algebraic and trigonometric curves in any plane or combinations of such forms to produce complex lines and surfaces for machining applications. The controller is very versatile and can reduce programming costs by orders of magnitude
