Abstract
A tool selection unit has an analysis unit and a selection unit. The analysis unit determines a pick feed direction and the feed direction of a tool on the basis of information relating to the shape of a machining region including a double curved surface or a machining surface in the machining region, and creates parameter information in which at least a value relating to the smallest curvature radius in the machining surface and a value relating to the largest curvature radius in the pick feed direction are recorded. The selection unit selects a tool to use for machining the machining region on the basis of the parameter information, from among a plurality of tools having a bottom cutting edge and a side cutting edge formed in a curved-surface shape having a curvature radius different from a curvature radius of a curved surface of the bottom cutting edge.
