Minimizing airtime by optimizing tool path in computer numerical control machine tools with application of A* and genetic algorithms

Research on tool path planning has been limited to minimize airtime by optimizing tool travel path in one machining plane without obstacles. To address this limitation, a method for tool path optimization that exploits A* and genetic algorithms to find the near-optimal safe cutting tool travel path...
