Computer-Aided Sculpture

This book contains detailed examples of application of the basic programs on mainframe computers to all phases of application of the system to machined engineering and medical examples. Its successor, Computer-Aided Sculpture, presents the essentials of the system concisely with programs, and their documentation, adapted to microcomputer technology. This is a concise introduction to the theory and program documentation of a powerful computer-aided general-shape machining system called Polyhedral NC®.
