Geometric Modelling for Numerically Controlled Machining - Marciniak, Krzysztof (Professor, Department of Precision Mechanics, Institute of Industrial Automatic Control, Professor, Department of Precision Mechanics, Institute of Industrial Automatic Control, Warsaw Technical University, Poland)

The control of machine tools using computers to supply cutting instructions is well established. Geometric modelling is a mathematical technique for programming the computer with a shape. This book reviews the differential geometry of parametric curves and shows how this can be applied in various novel ways to the programming of NC machinery.
