Abstract

According to the model of freeform optics, which was represented by the Double Cubic B-Spline Surface, control of parameters variation was used to calculate the NC machining tool path. Based on analyzing the characteristics of monocrystal diamond flycutter machining, the formula for calculating cutter location data was deduced and the corresponding algorithm was realized by programming. According to the algorithm and path layout of cutting feed mode, the NC program is generated and can be applied to machine freeform optics.
