Minimizing machining time is an objective that must be taken into account when choosing the cutting tool. The diameter of the cutting tool is one of the parameters which greatly influences the machining time of different geometric shapes, especially pockets. In this study, a methodology for optimizing the choice of milling cutting tools for machining triangular pockets was proposed. An analytical model expressing the length of cutting tool paths has been optimized using sequential quadratic programming. the study carried out in this work leads to the conclusion that the spiral contour strategy makes it possible to have a minimum length for the machining of triangular shaped pockets.
