<p>This thesis discusses the traditional use of (computer numerically controlled) CNC machining and the role of a designer to control the manipulation of (computer aided manufacturing) CAM software, CNC data and materials. The engaged designer has the capability to add qualities of digital tectonics onto a specified form through the process of working intimately with a CNC lathe. They experiment using abstract forms to find unique qualities that come from the cutting action of the tooling in a lathe. The designer takes on the role of the self-learner to become competent in the software, technology to apply complex textures and expressions.  The designer can capitalise on unforeseen events, adds the action of craft to this industrial production method, creates beauty and provokes an emotional connection. Understanding the potential in the design possibility is to accept the serendipitous influences that can be controlled and the inevitable moments that cannot.  The core of this research is to show how a designer claims authorship of their design at the making stage. They can define the margin of control and randomness, whether something has become too serendipitous, compromising the crafted form, or remained banal, repeating the precision machining, and releasing any character from the object. By finding the best design solution and replicating the same understanding a craftsperson has of their traditional tools. The designer observes, analyses, succeeds and fails, recognising the potential of their experimentation. Using Cross’s model of exploration, generation, evaluation and communication there is the strategy to see the unexpected, realise the potential and make it desirable. Learning the ability to manipulate digital surfaces and identify serendipitous qualities produced by the physical fingerprint of the machining process.  Opposing the machines’ engineering, expressing the marks of the tool on an object, the imprints behaving as fingerprints left on a surface, is a unique characteristic. Something that makes the end user want to experience, feel, move and use it every day. These surprising results may influence the future of how design is conducted with digital technologies and adding digital complexities inspired by traditional craft to design more interesting artefacts.</p>

The ball screw shaft part of the shaft is typical of one of the parts is difficult to process, the current CNC machining parts with high precision is required to solve such a circular arc surface, the most effective processing tapered threaded surface and the cylindrical surface methods. Aiming at the characteristics of round threaded shaft, analyzed the methods and procedures CNC lathe machining parts, and gives a complete NC program. Program is produced in Dalian CKA6132 CNC lathe written.

Abstract This paper presents the machining process of the complex copper electrodes. Machining of the complex shapes in copper is difficult because this material is soft and sticky. This research presents the main steps for processing those copper electrodes at a high dimensional accuracy and a good surface quality. Special tooling solutions are required for this machining process and optimal process parameters have been found for the accurate CNC equipment, using smart CAD/CAM software.

Abstract This article outlines a methodology of modeling self-induced vibrations that occur in the course of machining of metal objects, i.e. when shaping casting patterns on CNC machining centers. The modeling process presented here is based on an algorithm that makes use of local model fuzzy-neural networks. The algorithm falls back on the advantages of fuzzy systems with Takagi-Sugeno-Kanga (TSK) consequences and neural networks with auxiliary modules that help optimize and shorten the time needed to identify the best possible network structure. The modeling of self-induced vibrations allows analyzing how the vibrations come into being. This in turn makes it possible to develop effective ways of eliminating these vibrations and, ultimately, designing a practical control system that would dispose of the vibrations altogether.

Chapter 7 proposes a new, naturalistic characterization of conceptual analysis, defends its philosophical significance, and shows that usual concerns with conceptual analysis do not apply to this revamped version. So understood, conceptual analysis encompasses both a descriptive project and a normative project, similar to explication or to conceptual engineering. Chapter 7 also defends the philosophical significance of this novel form of conceptual analysis and its continuity with the role of conceptual analysis in the philosophical tradition. Furthermore, naturalized conceptual analysis often requires empirical tools to be pursued successfully, and an experimental method of cases 2.0 should often replace the traditional use of cases in philosophy.

This paper reports a novel method to generate adaptive spiral tool path for the CNC machining of complex sculptured surface represented in the form of cloud of points without the need for surface fitting. The algorithm initially uses uniform 2 D circular mesh-grid to compute the cutter location (CL) points by applying the tool inverse offset method (IOM). These CL points are refined adaptively till the surface form errors converge below the prescribed tolerance limits in both circumferential and radial directions. They are further refined to eliminate the redundancy in machining and generate optimum region wise tool path to minimize the tool lifts. The NC part programs generated by our algorithm were widely tested for different case studies using the commercial CNC simulator as well as by the actual machining trial. Finally, a comparative study was done between our developed system and the commercial CAM software. The results showed that our system is more efficient and robust in terms of the obtained surface quality, productivity, and memory requirement.

Chatter has been a problem in CNC machining process especially during machining thin-walled components with low stiffness. For accurately predicting chatter stability in machining Ti6Al4V thin-walled components, this paper establishes a chatter prediction method considering of cutting parameters and tool path. The fast chatter prediction method for thin-walled components is based on physical simulation software. Cutting parameters and tool path is achieved through the chatter stability lobes test and finite element simulation. Machining process is simulated by the physical simulation software using generated NC code. This proposed method transforms the NC physical simulation toward the practical methodology for the stability prediction over the multi-pocket structure milling.

User resistance is a complex phenomenon and is considered a major constraint towards the successful implementation and usage of information technology. Hence, in order to investigate the factors that may lead to user resistance; the current study proposes and investigates the mediating role of fear of unknown between lack of change information and end-user grumbling, and the moderating role of emotional regulation between the relationship. Emotional self-regulation theory has been used as an overarching theory that explains the research model proposed and tested in the study. Using a Quantitative approach, the survey was conducted and data was collected from 334 users of FBR systems. With the help of SPSS and MACRO PROCESS, statistical tests were conducted and links were tested. Results revealed that all hypotheses were accepted. Along with these discussions, research implications and recommendations are also provided.
