Issues Concerning Material Removal Shape Element Volumes (MRSEVs)

Published

Author(s)

Thomas R. Kramer

Abstract

In machining discrete parts, Material Removal Shape Element Volumes (MRSEVs) may be used to convey shape information from process planning to NC-programming. This paper discusses sixteen issues regarding MRSEVs and presents, in summary form, a proposed library of MRSEVs for 3-axis machining.
