Abstract
Handy relief rollers with a simple pattern are generally used to transcribe its design to a wall just after painting. However, the types of the patterns are limited to several conventional ones, so that interior planners' and decorators' requirements for attractive roller designs are becoming larger. In order to increase the kinds of the roller designs, a new advanced 3D machining system for cylinder models should be established. In this paper, a post-processor, which can generate suitable NC data for multi-axis NC machine tools with a rotary unit, is proposed. The 3D machining system with the post-processor is also presented for attractive interior decorating. The machining system allows us to easily transcribe the relief designs from a flat model surface to a cylinder model surface. The effectiveness of the proposed 3D machining system using the post-processor is demonstrated through actual machining experiments.
