Developability of triangle meshes

O Stein, E Grinspun, K Crane - ACM Transactions on Graphics (TOG), 2018 - dl.acm.org
Developable surfaces are those that can be made by smoothly bending flat pieces without
stretching or shearing. We introduce a definition of developability for triangle meshes which …

Compensation of deformation errors in five-axis flank milling of thin-walled parts via tool path optimization

ZL Li, LM Zhu - Precision Engineering, 2019 - Elsevier
In flank milling of thin-walled parts, the profile tolerance would usually be violated by the
excessive static deformations. This paper presents a comprehensive method to compensate …
