...Zhiyang Yao; Ajay Joneja High speed milling (HSM) has great potential use in die/mold cutting, but traditional machining plans do exploit HSM capabilities effectively. An important consideration in HSM is to limit cutting force variations, and one way to do so is to reduce cutter-workpiece...

... to solve them since the derivatives of the involved objective functions and constraint functions are all available. Examples of global cutter position optimization for flank milling of ruled surface with a cylindrical tool, which requires approximating the tool envelope surface to the point cloud...

...Eyyup Aras; Derek Yip-Hoi Modeling the milling process requires cutter/workpiece engagement (CWE) geometry in order to predict cutting forces. The calculation of these engagements is challenging due to the complicated and changing intersection geometry that occurs between the cutter...

...Shiqiao Li; Jami J. Shah This paper focuses on efficient algorithms for automatic recognition of user-defined turning features on mill/turn parts. As with other domains, recognition of interacting features is a difficult issue because feature interaction removes faces and alters the topology...

...Roshan M. D’Souza This paper describes an algorithm to select the cheapest tool sequence for machining 2.5D pockets using the milling process when the stock is uneven (noncylindrical). Uneven stock is generated when multiple setups are used to machine a prismatic part. Even though the pockets have...

...Nandakumar Sridharan; Jami J. Shah, ASME Fellow Most of the work in machining feature recognition has been limited to 2-1/2 and 3 axis milling features. The major impediment to recognition of complex features has been the difficulty in generalizing the characteristics of their shape. This two-part...
