PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently generate a tool path allowing for highly precise machining. SOLUTION: Based on a Z-map model of a product shape in an unmachined area of a workpiece and a predetermined inclination angle value, the unmachined area is divided into a contour machining area 11 of large inclination and a shape following machining area 12 of small inclination. In the contour machining area 11, a contour tool path is generated. In the shape following machining area 12, a shape tool path including a portion for tool move with varying cutting depth is generated with a pitch adjusted according to machining conditions and Z-axial shape variation.
