Mathematical models of cutting process design

Abstract

Cutting process design includes the construction of cutting plan and finding of optimal trajectory for cutting tool moving. The first problem is known as cutting-and-packing one. The most significant results are received for the problem of rectangular cutting-and-packing. The problem of finding the optimal cutting tool moving trajectory is formalized as problem of constructing the Eulerian cover with ordered enclosing. In the given research the composition of both problems to common system of cutting process design is considered. © 2009 IFAC.
