..., due to the newness of five-axis TR machining, there has no published reports on this subject. In this paper, we present a five-axis TR tool path planning algorithm for machining an arbitrary 3D curved cavity, which will consider the kinematical characteristics of the five-axis machine tool and try...

.... The tool path planning methods for given cylindrical and spherical surfaces are discussed. Multiple test cases have been performed based on a developed prototype system. The experimental results illustrate the capability of the newly developed AM process and its potential use in fabricating conformal...

...Masahiro Fujiki; Jun Ni; Albert J. Shih This research investigates the strategy to achieve high material removal rate in tool path planning for the near-dry electrical discharge machining (EDM) milling process using tubular electrode with a lead angle. The proposed strategy to prevent leakage...
