Abstract
In order to optimize turning processes, cutting forces need to be accurately predicted. This in turn requires accurate extraction of the geometry of tool-workpiece engagements (TWE) at critical points during machining. TWE extraction is challenging because the in-process workpiece geometry is continually changing as each tool pass is executed. This paper describes research on a hybrid analytical, solid modeler, and feature-based methodology for extracting TWEs generated during general turning. Although a pure solid modeler-based solution can be applied, it will be shown that because of the ability to capture different cutting tool inserts with similar geometry and to model the process in 2D, an analytical solution can be used instead of the solid modeler in many instances. This solution identifies features in the removal volumes, where the engagement conditions are not changing or changing predictably. This leads to significant reductions in the number of Boolean operations that are executed during the extraction of TWEs and associated parameters required for modeling a turning process. TWE extraction is a critical component of a virtual turning system currently under development.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
