Abstract This paper describes a computer-aided design and manufacturing system for design and production of complex cam profiles within the specified tolerance using a half angle search algorithm developed for optimisation of CNC part programming of cam profiles. The algorithm provides a systematic searching method to determine the minimum number of NC points required for machining the specified profiles of plate cams within a user-specified tolerance. Based on this algorithm, the CAD/CAM system generates an accurate and economical CNC part program for cams. This is verified by experimental results, analysis from CAD system and comparison with results from other methods.
