Abstract
Several methods have been developed for the computerized generation of space-filling curves, but these curves have never been used for NC to ol-path generation. The paper discusses the application of space-filli ng curves as tool paths for sculptured-surface machining. Tool paths t hat are space-filling curves, single-direction conventional paths, and 2-direction conventional paths are compared. The efficiency ratings o f the paths require further testing, but the preliminary conclusions a re favourable for space-filling curves.
