Abstract
The applications of the proposed cutting-path-adaptive-feedrate strate gy, described in part 1 of this paper, to real three-dimensional compl ex surfaces are examined. Its applications to the aerospace, automobil e, and die-mold industries are of particular interest. As an example, the proposed strategy is used in planning the machining of a turbine b lade die. This process consists of rough milling (using the stock mate rial), and the subsequent semi-finish and finish milling operations. C omputer simulations along with experimental verifications are presente d in this paper. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd.
