  • Patent number: 9740189
    Abstract: A machining program creating apparatus includes a tool-route generating unit sequentially executing, concerning each line segment, processing for setting an end point of a set tool route as an endpoint of interest and setting a line segment connected to the endpoint of interest as a next tool route and an NC-machining-program-creation processing unit creating the NC machining program. When a line segment not set as a tool route yet is present among line segments connected to the endpoint of interest, the tool-route generating unit sets the line segment not set as a tool route as a next tool route, and, otherwise, the tool route generating unit sets a line segment already set as a tool route as a tool route again between the endpoint of interest and an endpoint forming a line segment not set as a tool route yet.
