With the rapid development of numerically controlled units it is possible now to use parameter programming for the development of three dimensional spaces which was possible only with computer aided design software some two years ago. An exceptional visualization of the relationship between cutting surface and cutter position as well as a sound mathematical background is necessary to enable accurate programming of three dimensional spaces.422678 bytesapplication/pdfAfrikaansSouth African Journal of Industrial Engineering (SAJIE).
