- Abstract
- The proposed paper deals with two main ideas. The first is focused on principles of construction of an electromagnetic diamond percussion tool used for stone engraving. The second focuses on design and implementation of algorithm, which optimizes this diamond percussion tool path for bitmap CNC engraver. The tool foundation is an electrically driven pointed diamond engraving by hammering on solid, polished surfaces. The first part of the paper includes measurements of tool prototype, describing its basic features and potential applications. Finally, the tool performance is tested on a sample image engraved into polished black granite. The second part presents new algorithm for searching the shortest path connecting all bitmap pixels that need to be engraved with respect to specific constraints given by hard ware of bitmap CNC engraver. New algorithm considered as a heuristic approximation of Hamiltonian shortest path was implemented and tested on a real device. Results of experiments are listed. Concerning a set of 17 real-life bitmaps, the new algorithm saves from 7% up to 17% of overall engraving time compared to original line-by-line tool path.
