title = "Geometric criteria for gouge-free three-axis milling of sculptured surfaces",
abstract = "The paper presents a geometric investigation of collision-free 3- axis milling of surfaces. We consider surfaces with a global shape condition: they shall be interpretable as graphs of bivariate functions or shall be star-shaped with respect to a point. If those surfaces satisfy a local millability criterion involving curvature information, it is proved that this implies globally gouge-free milling. The proofs are based on general offset surfaces. The results can be applied to tool-motion planning and the computation of optimal cutter shapes.",
