...-dimensional geometric models, to provide precise data support. Design/methodology/approach This paper presents a surface mesh feature recognition technique based on STL files. The technique combines the midpoint matching method of adjacent edges and the divide-and-conquer approach to generate mesh...

... with the machining process that provided an automatic sequence and tool path for both the processes. In addition, the switch-over between the two processes was optimized to obtain procedural accuracy and speed. A novel algorithm for feature recognition in hybrid AM and SM has been developed by Homar and Pušavec...
