Cutter Engagement Region (CER) is the part of tool that contacts with stock, where a series of energy exchange and material transportation take place. A full understanding of its shape and area is indispensible for cutting force calibration, chatter analysis, and tool wear prevention. It can provide a criterion for efficient tool-path planning as well. In literature, however, there is no available modeling of CER. We hereby propose a modeling method for ball-end tool with design surface represented in triangular mesh. First, design surface is offset to form a stock surface. Next, compute the intersection between every triangular facet and the tool. Then, connect all the intersecting arcs to form the boundary of CER. Finally, compute the area of CER. Experimental validation for the proposed method is still needed.
