3354 Development of Platform-Independent Open CAM Kernel

Abstract

In recent years, CAM system has become absolutely essential tool for an application of multi axis machine tool and for an intelligential application of industrial robot. However, it would be a hurdle for educational institutions and developing countries, because CAM systems are very expensive. In addition to that, most of the systems are commercial software and the algorithms are highly confidential. Therefore, the study deals with the proposal of construction of platform-compatible and open-source CAM kernel for anyone who want to develop, release and share to raise the standard of CAM development mainly in educational field.
