The name comes from the way that a pencil could naturally be drawn along these corners. It s sometimes called a rolling ball toolpath. Often a constant step over passes are derived from single pencil pass to create parallel pencil passes that are very good for cleaining up corners and fillets where excess material remains from a bigger cutter. Generating pencil toolpaths There are several alternative algorithms for generating pencil passes. ref http www.cnccookbook.com CCCAMToolpaths.htm ref The method most commonly published in the academic literature involves creating tool surface offsets of the model surfaces and intersecting them to find the common line where the cutter would be in contact with two surfaces at once.
