Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for generating control data for controlling a predetermined tool on a machine tool for machining a workpiece clamped in the machine tool from a blank to a finished part. Machining geometry model data of a machining geometry of the workpiece at a machining time are compared with finished part geometry model data in order to determine a difference geometry between the machining geometry and the finished part geometry. On the basis of the determined difference geometry, a machining path is determined for the predetermined tool for removing material from the workpiece, and path data is generated such that a maximally large part of the volume of the difference geometry is removed per time unit in dependence of a maximum machining volume of the predetermined tool.
