What are the major steps of computer assisted part programming using the APT language?
What is the function of a post-processor in computer assisted part programming?
Why the development of a post-processor is a difficult task and how it could be tackled?
What are the key parameters for machining accuracy control? Provide a brief definition for
each of the parameters, and explain how each of the parameters affect the resulting surface
afier machining?
In a Cutter Location file (CLDATA), most of the statements are point to point movement

drawings to indicate and explain the parameters for (a) a ball nose cutter, (b) a flat end cutter,
and (c) a torus cutter.

Define the geometry of a cup model as a single NURBS surface (or two) by rotating the
profile curve shown on the next page about the vertical y-axis.
(a) You may first define the profile curve as a single NURBS curve (or two), and then
(b) rotate the profile curve(s) about the vertical axis for obtaining the rotational surface.
See next page for a sketch of the profile curve positioned on the xy-plane. Use the coordinate
system shown in the illustration.
For presenting the final solution, use hand drawings to illustrate the parametric directions of
the profile curve and the resulting cup model surface(s). Provide full details for the
definitions of the NURBS curve(s) and the NURBS surface(s), including the respective
equations, order(s), number(s) of control points, knot vector(s). and the set of properly
ordered control points.
The main dimensions of the cup model are as follows:
DI ~ 120mm
D2 = 100mm
D3 = 60mm
Hl = 80mm
H2 = 25mm
Rl =R2= 15mm
