A method includes receiving a representation of a spun tool and receiving a path for the spun tool. The method also includes calculating a profile of the spun tool and simulating movement of the spun tool over the path. The method includes determining critical positions along the path at which the composition of the profile of the spun tool changes based on the path, and re-calculating the composition of the profile of the spun tool for each side of a critical position. The method further includes re-calculating the shape of the profile of the spun tool at non-critical positions of the path. The method further includes determining a volume defined by moving the spun tool along the path between a first critical position and a second critical position, changing the profile of the spun tool at each critical position, and calculating a total volume based on the path.
