Abstract
The present invention provides a method and system for working a workpiece with a numerically controlled machine tool having a working tool. An electronic representation of an object to be worked is read and stored. Then, the working tool is moved in real-time based on the electronic representation that is read. To move the working tool, a user provides at least one movement parameter for the working tool, where the parameter includes at least one of direction parameters, space limits, and tool movement topologies. Moreover, moving the working tool is based on the at least one parameter provided by the user, and an initial movement of the working tool occurs when the electronic representation of the object is stored and the at least one parameter for working the object is provided.
