A CAD/CAM System for 2-D Blanking Layout
Wang Liang · Mechanical Science and Technology · 2002
This paper discusses the optimal layout in sheet metal blanks, puts forward a united formula for calculating utilization of material and an effective optimal algorithm-one step translation algorithm based on vertexes of element drawing, which decreases the calculating time. The algorithm can deal with the problem of linearization of any curve well. A practical layout CAD/CAM system is developed.
