Abstract

In CAD/CAM integrated environment, parametrically defined free-form surfaces may require to be truncated to suit the profile of an object to be machined. In such a case the truncated surface needs to be parameterized anew according to the boundaries. Bilinear Coons parameterization is a well known algebraic method which can be used for generating boundary-fitted iso-parametric curves depending on the boundary information. In this paper an iso-parametric tool path generation scheme has been presented based on Coons parameterization technique for free-form surface. The scheme has been tested on some typical surfaces. Limitations in application of this scheme have also been discussed in this paper.
