This example looks at machining techniques for finishing machining the floor surface of an impellor blade, a classic 5-Axis simultaneous machining application.
This example looks at machining techniques for finishing a CAM type component on a Mill/Turn lathe. Mill/Turn machines are becoming more popular providing manufacturers with the benefits of single set up machining.
This example looks at 3-axis Flowline machining techniques for finishing a component. Flowline machining is popular when machining a group of similar surfaces with the toolpath following the flow of the U or V parameter lines to give excellent surface finish.
This example looks at how simulation can be used as a tool to optimize surface finish. Simulation is used to analyse and then remove axis reversal motion resulting from the tool axis tilt during the machining process. These axis reversals can lead to surface marking on the final component so are best avoided.
