Cutter interference (or part surface gouging) is one of the most critical problems in NC machining of sculptured surfaces. Developed in this study is an algorithmic procedure for cutter interference handling that converts CC-data(cutter contact data; pairs of point and unit normal vector) into interference-free CL-data(cutter location data).
