Euklid and Ozelot, the Linkage of a CAD and CNC-System

EUKLID is a CAD/CAM-System which uses the Bezier method for the definition of the surface of complex 3D-bodies and which can handle 3 and 5 axes milling problems with ease. The 3D-CNC-System OZELOT uses the same mathematical definition of surfaces, which means that the analytical definition of surfaces to be produced may be communicated, whereafter little additional information is required to define the cutter path. This approach of linking a CAD and a CNC-System has among other things the advantage that less information compared to conventional systems has to be transferred between the CAD and the CNC-System and that highly increased accuracy of the cutter location needs only a small increase of the length of the paper tape.
