ABSTRACT
Milling is the mechanical process of removing material from a piece of stock through
the use of a rapidly spinning circular milling tool in order to form some desired geo-
metric shape. An important problem in computer-aided design and manufacturing is
the automated generation of efficient milling plans for computerized numerically con-
