A CNC tool needs to chart out a surface ABCDEF bounded by the following curve segments –

0
1. Segment AB – Parametric Cubic segment with control points 𝑷𝟏 = [ ] ; 𝑷𝟐 =
10
1.5 2 2.5
[ ] ; 𝑷𝟑 = [ ] ; 𝑷𝟒 = [ ]. Point A and B corresponds to control point 𝑷𝟏 and
9 7.5 7
𝑷𝟒 respectively. Take u = [0 1⁄4 3⁄4 1]
2.5 10 10 2.5
2. Section BCDE with coordinates: 𝑩 = [ ] ; 𝑪 = [ ] ; 𝑫 = [ ] ; 𝑬 = [ ]
7 7 2 2
3. Section EF – Parametric Cubic segment with the following control vectors - 𝑷𝟏 =
2.5 2 0 0
[ ] ; 𝑷𝒖𝟏 = [ ] ; 𝑷𝟐 = [ ] ; 𝑷𝒖𝟐 = [ ].
2 1 0 1

4. Section FA – circular section with center 𝑷𝟎 = [ ] and radius magnitude of 7.5.

The coordinates of control points are in cm. Generate the complete profile of the CNC tool path
using MATLAB or any other coding platform available.

If the surface ABCDEF is revolved by 360o about the line CD, generate the solid of revolution
using MATLAB or any other coding platform available.

Submission

1. A report containing generated CNC tool path and the revolved solid
2. Computer program file
3. Image of the Path ABCDEF
4. Image of the generated revolved solid
Note: Submission should be on moodle. Check for the due date.
