ABSTRACT
This term paper is prepared to partially fulfill a requirement of graduate studies program in industrial engineering for the course „FLEXIBLE MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS‟. The term paper studies on NURBS (Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines) curve Mathematical Representation and NURBS based Interpolations Techniques for CNC programming.
Because of its importance in both high-speed machining and tool-path generation, approximating a contour by NURBS format is a potential function in CAD/CAM/CNC systems. NURBS curve is one of the most commonly used tools in CAD systems and geometric modeling for its various specialties, which mean that its shape is locally adjustable as well as its continuity order and it, can represent a conic curve precisely.
Over the recent years, different curves and surface representation forms have been proposed. Currently, B-Splines and NURBS (Non-Uniform B-Splines ) are the most popular mathematical forms. NURBS offer a unified mathematical form not only for representation of free-form curves and surfaces but also for precise representation of close form shapes such as lines, conics, quadrics and surfaces of revolution.
In the following sections, there is an introduction, a detail analysis of NURBS mathematical representation and NURBS base interpolations techniques discussed. Finally the study provides a conclusion.

    D1 Compare CADCAM Package To Part Programme

    A part programme is coded using coordinates to give a detailed set of directions to be read by the machine control unit and then followed by the machine tool. When creating a part programme, first of all the programmer must look at a detail drawing to tabulate coordinates and create an operation plan which will include a tool list and materials – this can all be very time consuming and can leave much room for error. Any incorrect code in a programme could lead to errors in the machined component, for example if a datum point is not set in the right place then only part of the component may be drilled/milled in the wrong place; errors in the finished component will mean the entire written programme will have to be thoroughly checked through again, which again is very long and mistakes in the code are not easily identified by the same person who wrote it. If the error is so small the fault in the part made may go unnoticed until put into the final assembly – leading to malfunction. A much more efficient approach to creating a programme would be for the programmer to create a CAD drawing which software such as CIMCO can use to generate a code all by itself. Simulation using CAD can be used for testing a design before letting the programme make it straight away, this makes for less redrafting and delays, therefore saving time. When sent a CAD drawing from a client, it would be quicker to open them using a software – like CIMCO – to generate a tool path for use immediately rather than using the CAD drawing with dimensions to print as a detail drawing to then tabulate etc. Complex shapes and tool paths such as curvy three dimensional designs (for example see figure 1) are much more achievable using 3D modelling because there may be need for more than one tool path at a time which would not be very fun to programme manually. There are some…

    Activity 52a Geometric ConstraintsIntroductionA CAD model

    A CAD model can quickly display an engineer’s ideas in a realistic way. And those models can be used to generate technical drawings that can communicate the information necessary to make the idea a reality. In order to generate a 3D model, designs must start with sketches that are generated within the CAD program. These computer generated sketches will appear resemble hand drawn sketches in geometry (the combination of points, lines, and shapes), but have big advantages over hand drawn sketches. One important difference between a freehand sketch and a CAD sketch is accuracy. The lines of a CAD sketch can be drawn perfectly straight, with start and end points that occur in exact locations in space. By using numeric (dimensional) constraints a line may also be given precise length, placed a specific distance from another sketch feature, or constrained to be oriented at a specific angle from another straight line. By applying geometric constraints a line can be made perfectly horizontal or vertical. If more than one line is being sketched, they can be made perfectly parallel or perpendicular, collinear, or equal in length. Lines can be constrained to be tangent to circles or arcs, and two circles can be constrained to be concentric. In order to precisely model a part, the designer must be able to use dimensional and geometric constraints within the CAD program.…

    I believe that the importance of correct programming and setting up of part is very important in today’s CNC manufacturing world as you are producing very precise components that need to be produced first time, every time or this is bad news for the company because of loss profits, scrap material and expensive repair costs. So ensuring correct programming and setting up of CNC machines is critical.…

    Cerebrovascular Attack Case Study

    Cerebrovascular accident is well known as a stroke and affects around 800,000 people every year (Mclntosh, 2016). There are three types of strokes: ischemic, hemorrhagic and transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) (Mclntosh, 2016). Ischemic stroke is the most prevailing type of strokes with an 85 percent average rate (Mclntosh, 2016). It is cause by the reduction of blood flow, because of a narrowed or blocked artery in the brain (Mclntosh, 2016). Also, it is a rapid loss of blood supply which kill the cells of the brain and limits oxygen to go to that side of the brain (Mclntosh, 2016). For example, in the arteries that travels gets blocked because of a blood clots called thrombus (Mclntosh, 2016). Hemorrhagic stroke is the…

    Civil Liability

    Civil Liability

    Civil Liability can be a problem for almost everyone in ever day life. Civil Liability impacts police officer ever day in their lives and at work. It can be defined as a citizen’s responsibility to each other and provided law suits to recover damages for injured caused by failing to carry out these responsibilities. It also very well can impact more than only police officers but anyone put in the situation to deal with the rights of people. Police Officers must always be aware of situations around them and because the world is constantly changing so must an officers training. They must constantly be trained and improving their skills to lessen the risk of civil liability. A supervisor should always make sure their officers are trained enough and be satisfied they are to put them out in to their daily work to avoid being sued. Being a police officer is clearly not always a safe job. On the other hand it is not just police officers who are affected by civil liability. Practically anyone can be brought to the point of being sued for civil liability. For example a company owner should take great responsibility in making sure all of the things he can do to prevent injuries to his employees are taking. There are two main types of claims that are typically filed a tort claim and a civil rights claim.…

    Autocad 2012 Tutorial

    The first true 3D computer model created on CAD systems in the late 1970s was the 3D wireframe model. Computer generated 3D wireframe models contain information about the locations of all the corners and edges in space coordinates. The 3D wireframe models can be viewed from any direction as needed and are in general reasonably good representations of 3D design. But because surface definition is not part of a wireframe model, all wireframe images have the inherent problem of ambiguity. For example, in the figure displayed below, which corner is in front, corner A or corner B? The ambiguity problem becomes much more serious with complex designs that have many edges and corners.…

    Computer Aided Designing Software (Brief Summary - Wikipedia)

    CAD is an important industrial art extensively used in many applications, including automotive, shipbuilding, and aerospace industries, industrial and architectural design, prosthetics, and many more. CAD is also widely used to produce computer animation for special effects in movies, advertising and technical manuals. The modern ubiquity and power of computers means that even perfume bottles and shampoo dispensers are designed using techniques unheard of by engineers of the 1960s. Because of its enormous economic importance, CAD has been a major driving force for research in computational…
