- Title: A PostScript Inspired Abstraction for Path Generation
- Abstract:
- Current computer controlled machining practice in industry is
based on a semantically primitive language for path description. In
the case where a geometric model is used as a basis for path
construction, virtually every computational detail must be
incorporated into the path as the language is not capable of
transmitting higher level concepts. In my talk, I will outline an
alternative paradigm patterned after the information flow used in
image creation with the PostScript language. I will also touch on what
is required in terms of user interface, programming language, and
machine tool controller hardware.
