摘要: Abstract The paths of cutting tools used in a computer-aided manufacturing environment are usually described by means circular arcs and straight line segments. In computer aided design environment, however, objects often designed using B-splines or Bezier curves. This paper develops simple technique to find an arbitrarily close approximation quadratic curve G1 consisting arcs.
