abstract
In this paper, a new and innovative method for regular structuring and special patterning of workpiece surface applying face milling process is presented. The patterns have been generated on surface by particular positioning of workpiece and tool, milling passes in different direction, and as well as special angular position of spindle in typical vertical milling machine.
The model for the geometry of the cutting tool was first developed and subsequently, a new simulation model for surface pattern by face milling process was established. Mathematical models are presented to describe the cutting tool geometry and position (including orientation and location) in space.
