This paper presents a new method to calculate the feed scallop height for a toroidal cutter during a free-form surface machining in multi-axis milling. The proposed method is an extended analytical boundary method to define the cut geometry during a free-form surface milling. The algorithm was developed by taken into account the existence of inclination angle. The proposed method was successfully implemented to calculate the scallop for two model parts with different surface profiles. The accuracy was verified by comparing the scallop height calculated using the proposed method with those measured using Siemens-NX. The results proved that the proposed method was accurate

Abstract This study aimed to improve the efficiency of free-form surface machining by using a five-axis controlled machine tool and a barrel tool. The barrel tool has cutting edges, with curvature smaller than the radius, increasing the pick feed width compared with a conventional ball end mill of the same tool radius. As a result, the machining efficiency can be improved; however, the cost of the barrel tool is high and difficult to reground. In this study, a method to obtain the cutting points that make the cusp height below the target value is proposed. Moreover, a method to improve the tool life by continuously and uniformly changing the contact point on the cutting edge is proposed. The usefulness of the developed method is confirmed through machining simulations.

The manufacturing technology of an integral impeller is an important indicator for measuring the manufacturing capability of a country. Its manufacturing process involves complex free-form surface machining, a time consuming and error-prone process, and the tool path planning is considered as a critical issue of free-form surface machining but still lacks a systematic solution. In this paper, aiming at the tool path planning of the impeller channel, a quasi-triangular tool path planning method based on parametric domain template trajectory mapping is proposed. The main idea is to map the template trajectory to physical domain by using the mapping model of parametric domain to the physical domain to obtain the actual machining path. Firstly, the trajectory mapping model of parametric domain to physical domain is established using the morphing technique, and the template trajectory mapping method in the parametric domain is given. Secondly, the clean-up boundary of the impeller channel is determined in the parametric domain, and the quasi-triangular template trajectory of the impeller channel is defined. Finally, taking a certain type of impeller as an example, the quasi-triangular tool path of the impeller channel is calculated, and the tool path calculation time of this method is compared with that of the traditional isometric offset method. The result shows that the computational efficiency is improved by 45% with this method, which provides a new method for the rapid acquisition of NC machining tool path for impeller channels. In addition, the simulation and actual machining are carried out, the results show that the shape of actual cutting traces on the surface of the impeller channel is quasi-triangular, showing that this method is effective and feasible.

Purpose This paper aims to provide a series of new methods for projecting a three-dimensional (3D) object onto a free-form surface. The projection algorithms presented can be divided into three types, namely, orthogonal, perspective and parallel projection. Design/methodology/approach For parametric surfaces, the computing strategy of the algorithm is to obtain an approximate solution by using a geometric algorithm, then improve the accuracy of the approximate solution using the Newton–Raphson iteration. For perspective projection and parallel projection on an implicit surface, the strategy replaces Newton–Raphson iteration by multi-segment tracing. The implementation takes two mesh objects as an example of calculating an image projected onto parametric and implicit surfaces. Moreover, a comparison is made for orthogonal projections with Hu’s and Liu’s methods. Findings The results show that the new method can solve the 3D objects projection problem in an effective manner. For orthogonal projection, the time taken by the new method is substantially less than that required for Hu’s method. The new method is also more accurate and faster than Liu’s approach, particularly when the 3D object has a large number of points. Originality/value The algorithms presented in this paper can be applied in many industrial applications such as computer aided design, computer graphics and computer vision.

When using meshing creating method of FP (fiber placement) track, once the track point falls at some vertex point of mesh element, in the meantime the vertex point happens to be shared by several mesh elements, there needs a reasonable calculation method to select next mesh element which the FP track will pass through. Then it comes to the problem on linking of FP tracks. In order to solve it, in this paper, the author puts forward a new method, in which parallel projection theory is used, project need analytical mesh element and FP reference vector to a sound projective plane, on which the mesh element be selected and the FP track be calculated, then the FP track would be projected back to the placement surface. Program using this method realized a reasonable joint at the shared vertex point of meshing elements, which the FP direction has little change, and the mutation of track doesn’t come forth. So, the correctness of the method, which putted forward in this paper, is proved.
