<p>A plurality of curved surfaces which have distinct characteristics are defined as a unified curved surface. The definition is made by a group of polynomials with respect to parameters u and v in two directions reflecting the characteristics of the curved surfaces. Then, paths of a cutting tool to machine the unified curved surface are generated by using the polynomials. Further, a curved surface is divided by a curve into two regions, and a point is designated in one of the regions. Only with respect to the region which includes the designated point, paths of the cutting tool are generated. <IMAGE></p> |
