An NC machining simulation system development and machining error analysis

A developed three-dimensional NC machining simulation system is proposed in this paper. Windows 2000 is used as the developing platform and Visual C++ 6.0 and OpenGL are used as the developing tools of this system. By using this system the NC machining can be fully and effectively simulated and the simulation is much more accordant to the real machining process and the machining error analysis in NC machining process are resolved; the machining quality can be guaranteed and improved and the product developing period can be shortened greatly; the machining cost can be reduced and the better economic benefit and societal benefit can be received. This system can be used in practical machining work and also can be used as a CAI software in teaching.
