In this paper a technique to compute the 3-axis toolpath for a thin-wall component is presented aiming at maximizing the engagement conditions, keeping the geometry in tolerance. The toolpath generation is based on the static deflection of the component, predicted by coupling a mechanistic model of the cutting forces with a FE model of the workpiece, including, at each machining step, material removal mechanism. The algorithm follows the milling cycle in the reverse order: starts from the finished part, computes the maximum allowable radial depth of cut, and, adding material accordingly, generates the toolpath until the stock is built. The proposed technique has been experimentally validated, proving its effectiveness.

Abstract

In this paper a technique to compute the 3-axis toolpath for a thin-wall component is presented aiming at maximizing the engagement conditions, keeping the geometry in tolerance. The toolpath generation is based on the static deflection of the component, predicted by coupling a mechanistic model of the cutting forces with a FE model of the workpiece, including, at each machining step, material removal mechanism. The algorithm follows the milling cycle in the reverse order: starts from the finished part, computes the maximum allowable radial depth of cut, and, adding material accordingly, generates the toolpath until the stock is built. The proposed technique has been experimentally validated, proving its effectiveness.
