In the reverse engineering approach, a massive amount of point data is gathered together during data acquisition and this leads to larger file sizes and longer information data handling time. In addition, fitting of surfaces of these data point is time-consuming and demands particular skills. In the present work a method for getting the control points of any profile has been presented. Where, many process for an image modification was explained using Solid Work program, and a parametric equation of the profile that proposed has been derived using Bezier technique with the control points that adopted. Finally, the proposed profile was machined using 3-aixs CNC milling machine and a compression in dimensions process has been occurred between the proposed and original part so as to demonstrate the verification of the proposed method.

Surface modeling utilizing Bezier technique is one of the more important tool in computer aided geometric design (CAD). The aim of this work is to design and implement multi-patches Bezier free-form surface. The technique has an effective contribution in technology domains and in ships, aircrafts, and cars industry, moreover for its wide utilization in making the molds. This work is includes the synthesis of these patches in a method that is allow the participation of these control point for the merge of the patches, and the confluence of patches at similar degree sides due to degree variation per patch.  The model has been implemented to represent the surface. The interior data of the desired surfaces designed by MATLAB software have been transformed to UG-NX8 software to get the machining process simulation and G-code programs for the model, as well as a virtual machining process has been simulated to show the machining pitfalls, using CIMCO edit software. The sample has been machined using 3-axis vertical CNC machine. Finally, the sample has been measured using (CMM inspection) and it’s found that the average of error (0.144 mm).

This research presents a mathematical model of feed-interval scallop height, where in a machined surface there are two types of scallop height, the pick(path)-interval scallop and the feed-interval scallop. The pick-interval scallop is generated by the finite pick offset between the successive cutting paths, while the feed-interval scallop is generated by the finite increment between the successive tooth feeds. New model that describes and predicts the geometric generating mechanisms of the feed-interval scallop height have been derived using torus cutter which is commonly used in multi-axis milling machine. The machining parameters (effective tool cutter radius, feed per tooth and the magnitude of tool axis inclination angles) have been considered in theoretical and experimental work to study the effect of these parameters on this type of scallop height.From theoretical and experimental work it was found that at high-speed machining, the feed-interval scallop is more important to the surface roughness than the path-interval scallop, and the feed-interval scallop is very sensitive to the tool-axis inclination angle. The feedinterval scallop height decreased sharply and quickly within a few degrees of the tool-axis inclination to the normal workpiece surface. In general, an inclination angle equal to o 15 is good enough for all tool diameters used in the present work, namely (6,8,10 12 mm).
