- the moving path data creating step includes the steps of: It is preferable to generate tool movement path data including the attitude of the machining tool, including the three-dimensional curve equation of the intersection of the two and the three-dimensional curve equation of the normal curve.
- machining can be performed while moving in a predetermined posture (relative posture with respect to the workpiece) such that the axis of the processing tool is substantially perpendicular to the three-dimensional curved surface to be manufactured, or inclined at a predetermined angle.
- a predetermined posture relative posture with respect to the workpiece

- finding the three-dimensional curve equation of the normal curve in correspondence with the three-dimensional curve equation of the line of intersection between the first and second constraint surfaces is based on the three-dimensional curve represented by the three-dimensional curve equation of the intersection line.
- the intersection line between the first constraint surface and the second constraint surface is formed by, for example, the curved surface expression of the first constraint surface and the second surface so as not to impair the shape characteristics (tangential gun property and continuity of curvature) of the second constraint surface.
- a three-dimensional curve formula such as NURBS, B-Sp 1 ine, Bezier, etc.

If there are two points of intersection, there is usually an intersection between the two points, so the processing can be started as is with the two points at both ends of the intersection.
- the geometrical intersection line tracking method is, for example, as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-230406, etc., using one of the intersection points as a reference point and steps a predetermined dimension in the tangential direction of the intersection line. Therefore, the three-dimensional curve equation is obtained sequentially, and the step size is changed to secure a predetermined angle. In this method, the processing speed is slower and the number of segments increases compared to the patch boundary method.Because the processing starts from the point i of the intersection, if there are three or more intersections or the intersection line changes complicatedly Processing can be performed even if there is If the intersection line is closed and there is no intersection, the processing can be performed by setting the reference point using the parameter constant line of the first constraint surface.

- the first constrained surface is set based on a spherical surface farthest from the three-dimensional curved surface.
- the surface of the 3rd-order surface of the 3D curved surface is generally offset by the half-sized dimension (radius of curvature of curvature) of the machining tool by finding the surface normal vector of the 3D surface to be manufactured.

- the spherical arrangement method uses, for example, a technique described in Japanese Patent Application No. 8-210008 previously filed by the present applicant to obtain a surface normal vector such as a degenerate surface with high accuracy. If this is not possible, even in such a case, the first constrained surface that is separated from the target three-dimensional curved surface by the radius of the machining tool is required with high accuracy.
- Still another preferred mode is as follows: (a) the working tool has a shape of a tip processing portion or a hemispherical shape, and the first constraint is a hemispherical sphere of the tip processing portion.
- the surface normal of the three-dimensional surface is determined in the first constraint surface setting step.
- a vector is obtained, and an offset surface offset from the three-dimensional surface by a dimension equal to the radius of the hemispherical relief of the front end processing portion of the processing tool in the surface normal direction is set as the first constraint surface, and If the intersection between the wedge of the first constraint and the second constraint is two or three, the intersection of the first constraint and the second constraint is determined by the patch boundary method in the intersection calculation step.

- the tracking direction can be obtained by the cross product of the normal vectors on the surfaces S 1 and S 2 at the reference point. It is also desirable to adjust the amount of stepping according to the curvature of the shape. In other words, when the curvature is large, the stepping amount is small, and when the curvature is small, the stepping amount is large.
- one and the other of the surface S1 and the surface S2 correspond to a tool constraint curved surface 12 and a path constraint curved surface 32, respectively.

If the vector is du and the vector in the v direction is dv, they can be obtained by the following equations (1) and (2), respectively. Assuming that the points on the surface S 1 and the point on the surface S 2 obtained by adding these parameter increments are p 'and q', respectively, the distance between these two points I p '— q' I Until is sufficiently small (for example, within a preset tolerance), the above processing is repeated with the points p ′ and q ′ as new points p.q.

In addition, even when the intersection line 34 changes in a complicated manner, the three-dimensional curve equation can be favorably obtained.
- step SB6 when the calculation of the three-dimensional curve equation is performed in step SB3, SB4, or SB5, it is determined in next step SB6 whether the three-dimensional curve equation has been calculated. If the calculation can be performed, a series of intersection calculation processing ends. If a predetermined error occurs and calculation cannot be performed to the end, step SB7 is executed. The error differs depending on the calculation method.In the case of the patch boundary method, for example, when the number of divisions of the intersection line 34 exceeds the specified value or more, the subsequent processing is stopped as an error and the geometric intersection line tracking method is used. In this case, for example, when the number of convergence calculations exceeds a predetermined number, an error is generated and the subsequent processing is stopped.
- step SB7 it is determined whether all of the three calculation methods, the constant pitch method, the patch boundary method, and the geometrical intersection tracking method, have been used, and if the three calculation methods have been used, the step SB 8 finally makes an error determination and displays on the display device that the 3D curve equation could not be calculated due to an error. If there is a calculation method that has not been tried yet, a three-dimensional curve expression is calculated in step SB9 using the other calculation methods among the above three methods.
