NUMERICAL VALUE CONTROL PROGRAM CREATION DEVICE AND NUMERICAL VALUE CONTROL PROGRAM CREATION METHOD

摘要

Product-shaped data created by a 3D CAD is inputted and according to this data, a numerical value control program for the product is created. Display information creation means (3) causes a monitor (200) to display a shape of the product and highlight-display a portion of the product shape requiring addition of machining information such as a free curved surface. Machining information addition means (6) displays an input screen for inputting the machining information for the portion requiring addition of machining information highlight-displayed on the monitor. Input means (300) inputs predetermined machining information via the input screen displayed by the machining information addition means (6). Numerical value control program creation means (9) creates a numerical value control program for the portion requiring addition of machining information according to the data inputted by the input means (300).
