  • METHOD FOR MINIMIZING THE APPEARANCE OF UNDESIRABLE TOOL MARKS DURING CNC OPERATIONS
    Publication number: 20180217579
    Abstract: A method for preparing tool paths for use in a computer numerically controlled machine whereby the appearance of undesirable horizontal tool marks are minimized, comprised of identifying a surface texture and resolving the surface texture into at least one contour and identifying an underlying relief. A tool path is then prepared which is suitable for use in a computer numerically controlled machine wherein the tool path moves in accordance with the at least one contour of the identified surface texture while simultaneously carving the underlying relief.
