Abstract
An algorithm on the generation of contour tool path was presented for the manufacturing of the triangular mesh model by means of triple coordination machining with bull tool.It includes the equidistant offsets of the triangular mesh model and of the temporary 2D contour.The subalgorithm on the equidistant offsets of the model was designed based on the facet.The subalgorithm on the generation of the transitional contour was presented for protecting the convex edges and vertices based on the analysis of characteristics of them.The running of the program indicates that the algorithm can generate contour tool path of bull tool for the mesh model in a stable and reliable,efficient and effective way.
