2016, CAD Computer Aided DesignCitation Excerpt :Algorithms for generating cutting toolpaths from various computer-aided design (CAD) geometric representations (e.g. the work of [17,18]) are closely related to those use for additive manufacturing slicing, and perform many of the same functions. The most direct antecedents of modern slicers are algorithms for computing milling toolpaths for arbitrary-shape pockets [19,20]. NC toolpath generators, as well as slicers, rely heavily on an approach known as “polygon offsetting”.

2015, CAD Computer Aided DesignCitation Excerpt :Contour-parallel is the usual choice for machining complex pockets. Offset computation is not straightforward and therefore widely dealt with in the literature [2,12–16]. Other difficulties faced by this approach are: undesired grooving cuts and multiple entries to ensure total material removal, which might degrade the cutting dynamics, increase the total machining time, and lead to worse surface quality [11].
