Abstract. In order to solve the automatic signature graving programming of part in small product customization, the method of automatic generating based on Edgecam software was introduced. Firstly, the intelligent systematic ideas in Edgecam is proposed, then, the transformation algorithm for digital image processing was constructed, the key technology of signature graving and CNC programming were studied, the program was written in VB.NET, PCI, PDI and other secondary development languages in Edgecam, finally, the case study used in typical signature graving with the proposed method, which provides reference for the other engraving intelligently and rapidly in other product.

“…The papers that consider common cuts and collisions are either complete CAM system descriptions [76][77][78][79][80], or consider an EDM application where the cutter never stops cutting [66,68], or our own work which focuses on considering simultaneously as many problem aspects as possible [6,[71][72][73][74][75]. Similarly, the papers that consider piercings and bridges are CAM system descriptions [76][77][78][79][80], our own previous work [6,73,75], and one more paper [64]. Thermal effects are only considered by three papers [50][51][52] in addition to our own previous work [74,75].…”

This paper presents a review of the literature on generating cutting paths for laser cutting machines. Firstly, the cutting path problem is defined including all relevant technical side constraints which exist plentifully in laser cutting. Secondly, a former classification method is updated to include all types of cutting path problems. Thirdly, a comprehensive review of solution methods and related applications is presented. Throughout the literature review, trends in research in cutting path generation and interesting areas for future research are identified.

“…This approach is taken by Castelino, D'Souza, and Wright (2003), Kim, Gotoh, and Toyosada (2004), Wang and Xie (2005), Rao et al (2006), Xie, Gan, and Wang (2009), Yang et al (2010), and Jing and Zhige (2013). In the CCP, the laser head can initiate cutting at any location and like in the GTSP approach, once a contour is initiated, it needs to be cut completely before moving on to another contour.…”

This paper deals with generating paths for cutting irregular parts nested on thin or thick metal sheets. The objective is to minimise the total time required to cut all parts from the metal sheet explicitly taking the cost of piercing and pre-cutting into account. The problem is modelled as a generalised travelling salesperson problem with special precedence constraints. A set of construction heuristics is presented that incorporates the constraints originating from inner-outer contours, common cuts, piercing points and pre-cuts. Computational tests on a set of real-life cutting problems show that our solution approach is able to generate tool paths that for thick plates spend on average 33.4% less time than those generated by a commercial package for air movements, pre-cuts and sharp angle macros with cutting and piercing times being equal.
