Dear everybody,
I’m doing the NC machining simulator, and I successfully offset a solid object by a specified distance equal to the radius of cutter.
The problem I got that how to execute the intersection between cutter and stock. I downloaded OpengCSG in http://opencsg.org but I don’t know how to use it.
I heard a Z map method for intersection. The cutting stock is represented as a Z-vector map (vectors point upward). Cutting of the stock takes place by intersecting the cutter swept surface with the stock.
But I don’t know how to convert the stock to Z map and what kind of stock I have to render correctly for this
Is there anyone here has experienced thi NC machining simulator? Please help me, this is my thesis :((
