CNC Tool Path Generation/Evidence
Method evidence record

CNC Tool Path Generation

CNC tool path generation is the computational process of determining the precise sequence and trajectory of tool movements required to machine a workpiece on computer numerical control (CNC) machines. Developed from the intersection of numerical control automation and computational geometry in the 1990s, this method translates CAD designs into executable machine instructions, enabling efficient and accurate manufacturing of complex parts.
