Abstract
Improved methods for sculptured surface machining (SSM) must be based on (1) a formal framework for describing the SSM-processes and (2) an understanding of industrial practices. Therefore, this chapter presents a unified SSM-process model consisting of a set of unit machining operations (UMOs), machining-stage formation schemes, and UMOs for 5-axis machining. To help the reader appreciate current industrial practices, three examples of SSM-processes are presented: stamping-die machining, injection moulding-die machining and airfoil machining. In particular, the ‘UMO-description format’ proposed in this chapter could help enhance communication between industrial developers and academic researchers.
