High expectations are being placed on bamboo fibers as an alternative to glass fibers for applications of industrial products. However, conventional bamboo fiber extraction techniques have problems that primarily involve quality, accuracy, and efficiency. To solve these problems, we propose a new method for obtaining bamboo fibers with a machining center (MC) using in-situ measurement. The bamboo pipe's inner and outer shapes were measured with a touch probe. The fiber shape and its distribution were also investigated. Based on these bamboo properties, we propose a method to create a tool path. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
