CAD/CAM of Sculptured Surfaces on Multi-Axis NC Machine / Synthesis Lectures on Engineering, Science, and Technology (PDF)

Stephen P. Radzevich is a professor of mechanical engineering and manufacturing engineering. He received his M.Sc., Ph.D., and Dr.(Eng)Sc. in mechanical engineering in 1976, 1982, and 1991, respectively. Dr. Radzevich has an extensive experience in sculptured surface machining on multiaxis NC machines and machining of gears and gear cutting tools. He has developed numerous software packages dealing with CAD and CAM of precision gear finishing for a variety of industrial sponsors. His main research interest is Surface Generation: Kinematic Geometry of Surface Machining, particularly with the focus on (a) sculptured surface machining on multiaxis NC machines, (b) precision gear design and manufacture, (c) high-torque-density gear trains, (d) torque share in multiflow gear trains, (e) design of special purpose gear-cutting/finishing tools, and (f ) design and machining (finishing) of precision gears for low-noise/noiseless transmissions of cars, light trucks, and others. Dr. Radzevich has spent over 30 years developing software, hardware, and other processes for part surface machining and optimization. Besides his work for industry, he trains engineering students at universities and gear engineers in companies. He authored and coauthored 30 books, he authored and coauthored over 250 scientific papers, and holds over 150 patents in the field.
