Abstract :
A prototype four-axis CAM module for the machining of industrial parts with rotational-free surfaces has been developed. The CAM module consists of geometric modeling of the rotational-free surface, CL-data generation, graphic simulation and verification, and postprocessing and communication. To test the validity and effectiveness of the developed module, several test cuts were made with an additional-four-axis CNC milling machine and compared with the graphic simulation
