Abstract
The invention is a workpiece machining surface display method by means of which a machining mark generated when a workpiece machining surface is machined by a rotary tool comprising a cutting edge is displayed on a display device. Said workpiece machining surface display method contains: a first step in which the shape and position of an indentation generated by the cutting edge shaving the workpiece machining surface are predicted; and a second step in which an indentation image representing the shape of the indentation that has been predicted in the first step is displayed in association with the predicted position.
Claims8
A workpiece machined surface display method for displaying on a display device a machining mark to be formed when machining a workpiece machined surface with a rotary tool having a cutting blade, comprising:
- a first step of predicting a shape and position of a dimple to be formed by cutting the workpiece machined surface with the cutting blade;
- and
- a second step of displaying a dimple image representing the shape of the dimple predicted at the first step in correspondence with the position predicted at the first step.
A workpiece machined surface display device displaying a machining mark to be formed when machining a workpiece machined surface with a rotary tool having a cutting blade, comprising:
- a display device;
- a dimple specifying part specifying a shape and position of a dimple to be formed by cutting the workpiece machined surface with the cutting blade before machining of the workpiece;
- and
- a display control part controlling the display device so as to display a dimple image representing the shape of the dimple specified by the dimple specifying part at the position specified by the dimple specifying part.
A tool path generating system generating a tool path for machining a workpiece surface with a rotary tool having a cutting blade, comprising:
- a display device;
- a dimple specifying part specifying a shape and position of a dimple to be formed by cutting the workpiece surface with the cutting blade before machining of the workpiece;
- a display control part controlling the display device so as to display a dimple image representing the shape of the dimple specified by the dimple specifying part at the position specified by the dimple specifying part;
- and
- a path generating part generating a tool path of the rotary tool based on the shape and position of the dimple specified by the dimple specifying part.
