ABSTRACT:
A method and system for approximately reproducing the surface of a workpiece should enable the contour of the workpiece to be reconstructed in a particularly simple manner. The invention provides that a starting body, which represents, in whole or in part, the workpiece in a first approximation step, is subdivided into a number of partial volumes, whereby for a reproduction of the workpiece in a second approximation step, the partial volumes are selected for which a step involving an analytical reproduction of the milling volume, which stretches from the milling cutter along a covered milling path, is established.
