Abstract:
A method for working a workpiece with a numerically controlled machine tool having a working tool comprising the steps of:reading an electronic representation of an object to be worked; storing the electronic representation; computing an internal mathematical model of the object based on data obtained from the electronic representation being read, the internal mathematical model being used as a reference imaginary surface for the working tool; storing the internal mathematical model; providing, through a user, at least one parameter for a working tool for working the object, the at least one parameter including, at least one of direction parameters, space limits, and tool movement typologies; moving in real-time the working tool of the numerically controlled machine tool based on a real-time computation of movement coordinates of the working tool based on the electronic representation of the object, on the internal mathematical model of the object, and on the at least one parameter being provided, wherein an initial movement of the working tool occurs when the electronic representation and the internal mathematical model are stored and the at least one parameter for working the object is provided.
