Paper Title - OPTIMIZATION OF TOOL MOVEMENTS WHEN MILLING
COMPLEX SURFACES ON THREE-COORDINATES CNC MACHINES
Paper ID - 13
No. Criteria Conclusions
1. The importance and the actuality The paper presents a case study on applying CAM
(novelty, maybe trending topic) of the specific softwares and a analyze of some tool path
strategies that can be used for tool movements in
proposed subject milling complex surfaces on three-coordinate CNC
milling. CNC machining strategies is a topic a great
interest for the researchers and for the industrial
industry representatives.

suggest changing the title of the article to ”A
case study of the tool paths strategies applicable
for milling complex surfaces on a three-
