In order to prepare a good NC program, which can avoid machining troubles and achieve high machining productivity and accuracy, a sophisticated machining process simulation is required to predict whole machining operation. In this study, the Voxel model is applied to predict change of geometrical machining shape during machining operation. Additionally, the cutting force simulator is integrated to the geometrical machining shape simulator to evaluate machining process before actual machining operation. Cutting parameters such as depths of cut and stepover can be detected by the geometrical machining shape simulation, and then cutting forces can be predicted by the cutting force simulation.
