Techniques: Stitching, healing, tessellation, LOD,
surface and volume wave propagation, drawing in rainbow palette, general CAD architecture data structure and class

Optimal, automatic and robust 2..5 axes cycles with
special expertise in robust 3..5 axes - plunge roughing, rest material,
pencil milling, drive curve, 3D offset, constant loading, etc.
Custom and visual operations, visual batch mode script
using RAD techniques.
Real time tool path generation preserving topologic
information (with linear in number of nodes expected running time I call this
“in place offset calculation” using PINs - polygonal
irregular networks) or touching technology using enhanced Z Maps surfaces or
scan-lines like Delcam, Sescoi
and NC Graphics.
Other
particular optimisations: Optimal tool set, Optimal XY angle,
Automatic spiralization of 3D collapse cycles, Dynamic feed move depending on
tool-geometry (rigidity) pseudo-adaptive control (software simulated), Wear
compensation, Updated stock, Real time collision detection (stock, fixture,
clamps, holders), Rainbow analysis and visualization.
Developed my own CAD/CAM suit (5 years, Romania) and
architecting, designed and implemented optimal and automatic cycles for Pathtrace (4 years, UK) and VX (2 years, US). I’m the
designer and main implementer (>90% of code) of highly successful SSMT
(Secure Surface Machining Technology) for Pathtrace,
more about this can be seen at http://www.pathtrace.com/uk/product/mold_die.shtml.
And the author of the new VX Quick Milling (100% of the
machining core code + design for all other dependencies as: interfaces,
tessellation, documentation, sales material).
Implemented and used all range of offsetting methods -
Now, after so many years researching and implementing
CAD/CAM systems I can design the best CAM system for 2..5 axes including
e-training, e-service, e-upgrade, web reporting and enterprise features as
parallel and shared processing for any part size.
Resource Investigator, Shaper, Plant, Specialist each
of these characteristics comes with more than 15%. These four characteristics
share more than 90% of my behavior and are all on the active, dominant side of
the specter.
My first ten characteristics (processing 8 team mates
opinion) are: outspoken, knowledgeable, technical skilful, clever,
innovative, creative, challenging, analytical, original and enterprising.

Responsible with all technical issues related with VX
Quick Milling, the new solid machining core used for automatic complex parts
machining. My responsibilities are related with all areas of PLC grabbing
requirements, software architecture, implementation, testing, consulting and
training for sales, marketing and support teams.
VX QuickMill
is positioned as one of the fastest and smartest
Some of the innovations included:
·
Incremental toolpath regeneration
leading at 5..80% decrease in time calculation.
·
Advanced HSM techniques: Minimise full width cuts, Skim, Offset Area Clearance,
Break after time, length or quantity of material milled, Cusp Height Control,
Spiral and Projection Milling, Smooth Leads and Links, Tangential arc or
spline, Tool path evaluation, Quantity of material, Advanced linking, Smooth
Factor, Classic cycle can have HSM behavior, Adaptive Feed Control.
·
Advanced Limiting - is possible in
XY, Z or 3D being implemented a wide variety of techniques: silhouettes
detection, flat shallow detection, uncut(progressive
stock) and uncutable(rest finishing) material,
clamps, holder and table collisions detection and avoidance.
·
Adaptive Feed Control (AFC) is a
technology that enables variable feed moves along toolpath according with tool
geometry using full volumetric simulation of milling process.
·
Full interference checking tool,
part, stock, holders, tables.
·
QuickAnalyze
- Various smart ways of representing the toolpath enabling quick understanding
of various analytical dimensions like: along span, all toolpath, z height, tilt
(steepness of the surface), under tolerance condition, feed variation.
·
A rich suite of toolpaths:
8 finishing (Lace classic, Z Level,
HSM Lace, HSM Offset2D, HSM Flowing, Offset3D, DriveCurve,
Pencil),
4 roughing (Area Clearance Lace and
Offset2D, Plunge, Automatic hole detection),
3 art (engraving2D, engraving3D,
bulging).
4 and 5 axes non-normal robust
non-gouging toolpaths based on projections (clamp holder) instead of normal to
surface technologies, mainly flowing and equiparameter
kind of toolpaths.

Responsible with architecture, design, programming and
automatic testing of analysers, optimizers and
decisional systems for CAD/CAM products, using fuzzy logic, neural networks and
pattern recognition, designing systems for automatic manufacturing, using VC++
v4.x -7.x, case tools, OpenGL, STL and OOP.
I was involved in large-scale software architecture,
analysis, design, implementation and testing.
In charge with design and implementation of highly
reusable, efficient and insulated STL-like generic libraries used in scientific
and CAD/CAM environment. Libraries used for generic data acquisition,
storing, analysis, optimization and tool path generation and contain all spectrum of generic patterns used in STL-like libraries: adaptors,
iterators, algorithms and containers.
Designed and implemented other general-purpose generic
insulated components like: progress bars, internationalization, generic non-invasive
mangling-caching-validation mechanisms, parallelization for multiprocessor and
networking processing.
Researches in computational geometry
designing useful generalizations for trees, sweeps and uniform grids as
methods of decreasing problem complexity in CAD/CAM science.
Implemented analytical model in EdgeCAM (a method of analyzing, viewing and solid slicing
using rainbow palette). Can analyze rest-materials,
slopes, Z height, equal cusp curves, etc.
In charge with architecture, design and implementation of all
3D cycles ranging from simple parallel lace to 3D rest material, shallow-steep
detection, and pencil drive curve. Cycles visible starting
with EdgeCAM V4.75.
