A complex part, which has curved surface overall, is trial-manufactured with CNC machine. The NC machining process and technology of this full-surface part are studied in this paper. First, the 3D model of the part is created in the modeling module of UG system. Then, process analysis and scheme are developed. As the part has an irregular shape and the entire surface is to be NC machined, there are many difficulties during processing. The optimized process plan is determined. In the manufacturing module of UG system, the NC machining parameters are set according to the processing requirements, the tool paths are generated, edited and checked, and the NC code is generated by post processing. Finally, the part is manufactured using a 3-axis CNC milling machine with the NC programs. It has desirable shape and high accuracy. The result shows that the NC process is reasonable and efficient. CAD/CAM integration technology is applied successfully in this example. The methodology and technology introduced in this paper can provide valuable reference for processing similar parts, and it is also useful for correlational study.

In this paper, a very detailed process analysis for UAV integral impeller was made. According to the specific processing requirements, the appropriate CNC machine, blank and cutting tools have been choosing. In the rough machining process, various machining strategies have been used for comparing and analyzing, finally a more efficient roughing method with the accurate machining parameters will be obtained. At the same time the machining method have been improved and the processing parameters also have been determined in the semi-finishing process. Through the simulation processing in VERICUT, the possibility of the existence of interference which is usually occurred in the actual processing can be ruled out and the program optimization will be finished in the meantime. Finally, using intelligent three-coordinate measuring machine the consequence will be verified and inspected in the actual machining process.

Glass is one of the most difficult materials to be machined due to its brittle nature and unique structure such that the fracture is often occurred during machining and the surface finish produced is often poor. CNC milling machine is possible to be used with several parameters making the machining process on the glass special compared to other machining process. However, the application of grinding process on the CNC milling machine would be an ideal solution in generating special products with good surface roughness. This paper studies how to optimize the different machining parameters in glass grinding operation on CNC machine seeking for best surface roughness. These parameters include the spindle speed, feed rate, depth of cut, lubrication mode, tool type, tool diameter and tool wear. To optimize these machining parameters in which the most significant parameters affecting the surface roughness can be identified, Taguchi optimization method is used with the orthogonal array of L8(26). However, to obtain the most optimum parameters for best surface roughness, the signal to noise (S/N) response analysis and Pareto analysis of variance (ANOVA) methods are implemented. Finally, the confirmation test is carried out to investigate the improvement of the optimization. The results showed an improvement of 8.91 % in the measured surface roughness.

The purpose of machining operations is to make specific shapes or surface characteristics for a product. Conditions for machining operations were traditionally selected based on geometry and surface finish requirements. However, nowadays, many researchers are optimizing machining parameters since high-quality products can be produced using more expensive and advanced machines and tools. There are a few methods to optimize the machining process, such as minimizing unit production time or cost or maximizing profit. This research focused on maximizing the profit of computer numerical control (CNC) milling operations by optimizing machining parameters. Cutting speeds and feed are considered as the main process variables to maximize the profit of CNC milling operations as they have the greatest effect on machining operation. In this research, the Nelder–Mead simplex method was used to maximize the profit of CNC milling processes by optimizing machining parameters. The Nelder–Mead simplex method was used to calculate best, worst, and second-worst value based on an initial guess. The possible range of machining parameters was limited by several constraints. The Nelder–Mead simplex method yielded a profit of 3.45 ($/min) when applied to a commonly used case study model.

To pursue high-performance computer numerical control (CNC) milling of complex parts, it is crucial to simulate their machining process geometrically and physically with high fidelity beforehand. The geometric simulation is to construct three-dimensional (3D) models of the finished parts and to compute geometric deviation between the models and the part designs, in order to verify the planned tool paths. The physical simulation is to build undeformed chips geometric models and in-process workpiece models and to compute instantaneous cutting forces, in order to optimize the machining parameters. Therefore, it is essential to accurately and efficiently model undeformed chips geometry in machining complex geometric parts. Unfortunately, this work is quite challenging, and no well-established method for this work is available. To address this problem, our work proposes an accurate and effective approach to 3D geometric modeling of undeformed chips geometry in three-axis milling of complex parts. The outstanding feature of this approach is that undeformed chip models and in-process workpiece models can be effectively constructed. This approach lays a theoretical foundation for the geometric and the physical simulations of three-axis milling. It advances the technique of machining simulation and promotes high-performance machining of complex parts.

The development of modern advanced manufacturing technology greatly relies on the CAD / CAM technology. Many pieces of computer software with CAD/CAM function have been developed rapidly in recent years. Unigraphics (UG) is one of the outstanding representatives. It has a powerful design and CNC programming function, and CAD/CAM seamless connectivity. As an application example, a mouse model part which has complex surface was designed and trial-manufactured with CNC machine. First, the 3D model of the part was created in the modeling module of UG software. Then, the process scheme was developed after analyzing. In the manufacturing module of UG software, the NC machining parameters were set according to the processing requirements, the tool paths were generated, edited and checked, and the NC codes were generated by post processing. And then, the NC machining was simulated in YULONG software. Finally, the part was manufactured in a 3-axis CNC milling machine. It has desirable shape and high accuracy. The results show that UG has a perfect CAD/CAM function. The CAD/CAM technology based on UG makes the NC machining of complex surface part very convenient. It improves the efficiency of design and machining, shortens the manufacturing cycle, and reduces the cost, which reflects the importance of the CAD/CAM software in NC machining.
