Turning Geometry App

Turning Geometry App is a simple, interactive tool for defining and visualizing basic turning profiles. Users can input coordinates, choose

This Turning Geometry App provides an interactive interface for plotting and analyzing basic turning profiles. Simply specify the coordinate points (A–G) along with each segment’s profile type—Concave Circular, Convex Circular, Straight, Taper, or Face—and then click Plot to visualize the resulting 2D geometry.

You can also enter information about roughing and finishing passes (number of passes, depth of each cut, and finishing allowance). The app calculates and plots each pass profile, helping students or engineers visualize the material removal process in a clear, step-by-step manner.

Key features:

ss•ssDynamic Profile Selection: Choose from multiple turning profiles for each segment.

ss•ssRoughing & Finishing: Set number of passes, roughing depth, and finishing cut depth.

ss•ss2D Visualization: See the raw and finished geometry in real-time with adjustable parameters.

ss•ssEasy Input: Coordinates, radii, and centers are entered in dedicated fields, making it straightforward to define part geometry.

This app is ideal for mechanical engineering students, machinists, or anyone learning the basics of lathe operations. Once installed, simply launch “Turning Geometry App” from the Apps tab, fill in your desired geometry and process details, and click Plot to get started.

Enjoy exploring turning operations in a more visual and interactive way!
