... Capturing the in-process workpiece geometry generated during machining is an important part of tool path verification and increasingly the physics-based simulation of cutting forces used in Virtual Machining. Swept volume generation is a key supporting methodology that is necessary...

... geometry that occurs between the cutter and the in-process workpiece. For hole milling an additional complication comes from self-intersections that occur with the tool swept volume. This makes the generation of the instantaneous in-process workpiece needed for finding the CWE difficult. In this paper we...
