Abstract
Cutter-path topology is critical to the efficiency and applicability o f the milling process. The paper introduces a new cutter-path form tha t incorporates elements of currently used topologies, and demonstrates its efficiency and applicability to the milling of general free-form shapes using a ball-nosed cutting tool.
