Abstract
The scope of the paper is to construct an autonomous, intelligent CAD/CAM programming system for the cutting device controller (for instance a CNC laser cutting machine tool) based on evolutionary methods. The CNC cutting device should be able to optimise paths autonomously between cutting trajectories, determined by the product's CAD model. An evolutionary GA was used for this purpose.
