Hello,
I have start a few month ago a simulation program to simulate a 3D milling toolpath.
I want to implement in this program now the simulation of a toroidal cutter. but for that I need to resolve the equation of the intersection of a line and the surface swept by a toroidal tool . Any information or idea will be welcome. It can be simplified by finding the equation of the green curve show in the following image :
Regards,
You can find a copy of this program and the last source code at :
