Abstract
This paper describes feature-based noncutting tool path selection usin g integer programming (IP). The IP approach provides an optimum tool t ravel sequence while avoiding multidispatch of tools. The paper also d escribes the tool dispatching sequence, tool visiting sequence, and IP constraints for manufacturing features. The noncutting tool path is c ompared with the cutting tool path to select the shortest possible tot al tool path.
