Patent attributes
A method for generating a machining program includes inputting a coordinate value and a machining dimension of a portion to be machined with respect to the axis Z for forming a pair of restricting surfaces. The method includes determining the unit machining shape based on the inputted coordinate value and machining dimension and determining a tool in accordance with the determined unit machining shape. The method includes inputting data about cross-sectional shapes of the portion to be machined and a portion resulting from cutting; generating a machining path; and generating the machining program based on the generated machining path and the determined tool. Therefore, a machining program for forming a cut resulting portion eccentrically projecting is generated in an interactive manner.
