In manufacturing processes, the time and cost required for setting up numerically controlled machine tools greatly affects production efficiency. In the present study, we developed an algorithm for analysis of the tool path during scanning processing, which is a method often used for curved surfaces such as dies and molds. The algorithm is implemented on a graphics processing unit to achieve high speed. The method is based on a standard triangular mesh, which allows highly versatile modeling in three-dimensional computer-aided design. Using this method, it was possible to determine the optimum tool diameter for different approach positions in a reasonable amount of time.
