    How to generation toolpath ?

    Dear everybody,

    I almost finish my NC Machining simulation software, just a problem left. That is how to generate toolpath. I write in VC++ and OpenGL. I just want to generate the simple toolpath such as contour-parallel.

    Is there any instructions or materials about this ? please help me, this software is my thesis

    Is your simulator available somewhere on the net?

    Do you have any screenshots?
