A two-level grid framework for efficient multi-axis milling simulation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Multi-axis milling simulation plays a critical role in tool path verification and material removal analysis for complex part manufacturing. This paper presents a two-level voxel grid framework that enables efficient workpiece update and cutter-workpiece engagement determination under high-resolution conditions. The direct voxel tracing algorithm, designed for efficient localized updates on the uniform grid, is extended to two-level uniform/adaptive grids to balance efficiency and memory usage, but suffers degradation when applied naively due to hierarchical access overhead and redundant computation. To address this, a dynamic computation localization strategy is proposed, comprising three predictive mechanisms: an oriented bounding cylinder for direction-aware spatial filtering, a predictive engagement region strategy to reduce unnecessary computation, and a dual-stage Boolean reduction process to compress the voxel update domain. These mechanisms collectively confine computation to regions with actual cutter-workpiece interaction, systematically reducing computational cost. Comparative studies demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed method over uniform grid and tri-dexel representations under high-resolution conditions.

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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
