UG template model-based parametric design method plays an important role in improving face milling cutter design efficiency and ensuring design accuracy. Three kinds of parameter design method are described in this paper. Parametric design of series for face milling cutters is completed with UG software and UG template model, moreover, user menu and an interactive window are customized, which improves design efficiency and accuracy of face milling cutter. Meanwhile, this study can provide reference for more model design and functional development.

UG Open/Grip and Open/API hybrid programming approach allows accurate modeling of copy milling cutters, avoiding modeling in the software caused by inefficient and poor accuracy flaws. This paper uses all parameters design of UG-based hybrid programming, forming a series of three-dimensional entity of copy milling cutters rapidly by modifying the basic parameters of the copy milling cutters, which can greatly improve the design efficiency of a series copy milling cutters.
