Thank you for the reply H.

I wish you all the best in further development of your project! It looks great from this point!

I guess you refer to the grid used to generate the toolpath points? If you open the GH file at

you'll figure out how the grid and the resolution are set by the user.

Nice. Tell me how did you determine the density of the ball noses in between each other?

thanks Najna.

 

it's a first crude simulation of a 5 axis ball nose milling job for CNC machines. the code is based on CAMel, an open source CAD/CAM initiative

which I'm trying to improve. the surface is a 2D Gaussian function, see this link:
