A tool path generating method for rough machining in 3axis CNC machining was proposed by using vertex offset algorithm in multi-step offset method.First an offset model of STL was established by offsetting the original model to a distance from cutter corner radius
and sliced by horizontal planes.Then the intersection lines in horizontal plane and offset model of STL were offset to decide the machining area in each horizontal plane
and the tool path planning was done.Finally a whole tool path was generated by connecting all tool path segments with zig-zag pattern.The practical case study indicates that this algorithm is simple in calculation and can generate an interference-free tool path.
