A new method for 5-axis flank computer numerically controlled (CNC) machining is proposed. A set of tappered ball-end-mill tools (aka conical milling tools) is given as the input and the flank milling paths within user-defined tolerance are returned. Thespace of lines that admit tangential motion of an associated truncated cone along a general, doubly curved, free-form surface is explored. These lines serve as discrete positions of conical axes in 3D space. Spline surface fitting is used to generate a ruled surface that represents a single continuous sweep of a rigid conical milling tool. An optimization-based approach is then applied to globally minimize the error between the design surface and the conical envelope. The milling simulations are validated with physical experiments on two benchmark industrial datasets, reducing significantly the execution times while preserving or even reducing the milling error when compared to the state-of-the-art industrial software.
