It is also used to label theatrical lighting gels. It is often used as a construction or handyman s marking tool as it rarely scratches the surface it is used on. It may be used to mark a wet surface. They are also favored among some traditional artists. Due to its ability to write on glass, it is often used in chemistry labs to mark glassware. This pencil is available in several forms. The outer casing may be made of wood like an ordinary pencil and sharpened with a knife or pencil sharpener . Other types are covered in paper and sharpened by pulling a string, needing no additional tools to remain functional. More recently, it has been produced in propelling form, essentially similar to a clutch pencil but with a different lead. This pencil is usually made from non toxic opaque wax similar to a crayon but stronger. Marks made by grease pencils are resistant to moisture and can usually be removed by rubbing the marked surface with a paper towel . Grease pencils can be found in many different colors.

Image Pencil2.png thumb 300px Pencil toolpath diagram Image Pencil3.png thumb 300px Pencil milling diagram Orphan date October 2010 Pencil milling is a cleanup toolpath generated by computer aided manufacturing CAM programs to machine internal corners and fillets with smaller radius tools to remove the remaining material that are inaccessible with larger tools used for previous roughing, semi finishing, and finishing toolpaths. The name comes from the way that a pencil could naturally be drawn along these corners. It s sometimes called a rolling ball toolpath. Often a constant step over passes are derived from single pencil pass to create parallel pencil passes that are very good for cleaining up corners and fillets where excess material remains from a bigger cutter. Generating pencil toolpaths There are several alternative algorithms for generating pencil passes. The method most commonly published in the academic literature involves creating tool surface offsets of the model surfaces and intersecting them to find the common line where the cutter would be in contact with two surfaces at once. An example of this implementation uses the ZMap method described by Park, et al. ref cite author Park JW, Chung YC, Kim BH, Choi BK title Pencil curve tracing via virtual digitizing.
