Method of generating a machining programme using a programming system

Abstract

A method of generating a machining program with a programming system comprising a programming module and a man-machine communication interface having a display surface and selection means. The method comprises : - displaying on the display surface an image illustrating a representation of a real part to be machined and a virtual model corresponding to the real part to be machined;- selecting in the image, using the selection means, at least one given virtual zone of the predetermined virtual model corresponding to a given real zone of the part to be machined and a desired machining intensity parameter for the selected virtual zone; then- generating the machining program comprising a machining intensity characteristic to be applied as a function of the selected parameter.
