This paper documents the procedures, techniques, and considerations used to create a FORTRAN computer program for the CNC milling machine. This program was designed for use in the WSU Engineering Shop, which specializes in wind tunnel models. The program was originally designed to cut wings of any geometry, including sections where the root and tip were different sizes and/or airfoils, swept and/or tapered wings in either direction, wings with twist at any point of incidence on the chord line, and wings made of different sections. Each section of the wing can have one or more of the traits listed above. The program includes a compensation routine, which enables the CNC to cut a finished product if desired. Though originally designed for wings, this program can be used for unilateral 3-D contouring, including other designs of aerodynamic significance.
