| Abstract | Nowadays, 5-axis CNC machines have become capable and more popular in manufacturing sculptured surface which are wildly used in many industries. To improve the surface quality and avoid the interference, the tool size and tool orientation are the important factors. For the gh en toolpath, the optimal tool size with the proper tool orientation can satisfy those requirement. 1bis thesis introduces an algorithm to find the optimal tool size of flat end mill and tool orientation based on the specific toolpath. The principle of this algorithm is curvature matching which calculats the inclination and tilt angle that maintain the effective radius smaller than or equal the radius of curvature. By using the proper tool size and tool orientation the interference problem can be avoided |
