Abstract
With the intention to improve the five-axes technology and to enhance its acceptance in the industry, 6 institutes have cooperated in a joint project supported by the DFG. The title of the project is "Computer-aided production with five-axes milling machines". Within this project the complete NC process sequence for the five-axes milling of sculptured surfaces was examined, from digitization to design and process planning up to the final manufacturing.
