Abstract: A variable-step-distance micro-milling repair cutter path generating method for damage points on a surface of an optical crystal related to a field of optical material and optical element surface repair and includes steps of establishing a mathematical model of a repair profile; determining discrete contact points between a cutter and the repair profile to obtain a cutter contact control point set by a GPR path generating method to control a movement trend of a pseudo-random path; interpolating the cutter position control point set into a spatial curve by a NURBS modeling method; creating a UG curve in a UG software according to the mathematical model, and using the UG curve as the repair path to perform a machining process simulation. The method has good elimination effects on cutter marks with constant period and improves the ability of the KDP crystal to resist strong laser damage.
