Abstract
This paper deals with the development of CAD/CAM system for getting a good machined surface. In case of inclination machining using the ball end mill tools, various change of the tool attitude can be carried out. Thus inclination machining is used in order to avoid machining in a tool tip. We searched a difference of surface appearance and surface roughness in terms of the tool attitude. However it is difficult to keep a tool attitude when a tool interference is considered in case of the form for which 5-axis control machining is needed. This research aims at development of the CAD/CAM system in order to create the tool path for good machined surface.The tool path is created in consideration with the machined surface quality of different tool attitudes. Using deviced method, cutting start point, tool feed direction and tool attitude can be determined automatically.
