The goal of workpiece localization is of interest to find the optimal Euclidean transformation that aligns the sampled points to the nominal CAD model to ensure sufficient stock allowance during the machining process. In this paper, a unified localization technique is developed for sculptured surface machining. This technique concerns an alignment process to satisfy a user-defined set of constraints for some specific surfaces where the machining allowance is preferentially guaranteed. The mathematical model of the constrained optimization alignment is firstly established, and is efficiently solved by a combination of the multipliers method and the BFGS algorithm to handle the large number of constraints in allowance optimization. To efficiently calculate the Euclidean oriented distance, a novel approach, which combines the robust arithmetic for multivariate Bernstein-form polynomials and Bezier surface segmentation algorithm, is presented based on recursive quadtree decomposition. Two typical sculptured surfaces are used to test the developed algorithm and comparisons between the proposed algorithm and the existing algorithms are given. Experiment results show that the proposed method is appropriate and feasible to distribute the stock allowance for proper sculptured surface machining.
