Abstract: Triangular mesh model is widely used in CAD/CAM field, but there are few tool path calculation algorithms for it. Based on reconstructing topology relations of triangular meshes, an analyzing method of geometric characteristics for triangular surfaces is presented. Moreover, an accurate algorithm of tool path calculation is also discussed. The results show that the tool path calculation precision can be efficiently improved by the proposed method.
