Algorithms for simulation and verification of Numerically Controlled (NC) machining programs are presented. Compared to NC simulation based on conventional solid modeling systems, these models are designed to give approximate results, but with a substantial decrease in computer time. The surfaces of the part are discretized into a Surface Point Set (SPS) with a point spacing dependent on cutting tool size and shape local surface curvature and the desired accuracy of the approximate simulation. The surface-surface intersection calculations of the solid modeling approach are replaced by the intersection of the surface of the tool movement envelope with straight lines emanating from the surface points. The methods are applicable to both 3 and 5 axis machining. Samples test cases are presented, and implementation and efficiency issues are discussed.
