Werkzeugpfad
Werkzeugpfad is a German term that translates to "tool path" or "working path." In the context of manufacturing and design, it refers to the sequence of movements a cutting tool makes to shape a workpiece. This path is typically generated by computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software based on a digital design model. The Werkzeugpfad dictates the precise trajectory, speed, and depth of cut for operations like milling, turning, or drilling.
The creation of an effective Werkzeugpfad is crucial for achieving the desired part geometry, surface finish,
Different types of Werkzeugpfad strategies exist, catering to various machining operations. For instance, contour milling follows
