Title: Development of Interactive Mold Cavity CAD/CAM System
Abstract: An interactive mold cavity CAD/CAM system has been developed and applied for the modeling and machining of mold cavities and dies. This system consists of an interactive geometrical modeling system and an interactive machining system, which were independently operated for modeling and machining mold cavities respectively. Special features of this system are that a machine operator can easily control and/or change the cutting conditions (cutter path, three-dimensional cutter offset operation, pick-feed and cutting direction) during machining opration. In this paper, the basic concept for the Interactive Mold Cavity CAD/CAM System, the structure of data-base, an algorithm for processing of information and examples of modeling and machining of mold cavities and dies are described.
