In additive manufacturing, infill structures are commonly used to reduce the weight and cost
of a solid part. Currently, most infill structure generation methods are based on the …

As the production orders are becoming multi-category and small-batch in the era of product
personalization, these require frequent reconfiguration of reconfigurable flexible assembly …

Complex and deep cavity features are ubiquitous in industrial parts, where the harsh
interference condition necessitates the use of multi-axis machining strategy to rough …

This paper presents an easy-to-control volume peeling method for multi-axis machining
based on the computation taken on vector fields. The current scalar field-based methods are …

A critical task in multi-pass process planning for the five-axis machining of complicated parts
is to determine the intermediate surfaces for rough machining. Traditionally, the intermediate …

Complex shaped thin-walled blades that are extensively used in jet engines or stream
turbines are very difficult to machine due to low rigidity of the blades, typically limited space …

Today, freeform surfaces are widely used on products in automobile, aerospace, and
die/molds industries, which are generally manufactured using multi-axis computer numerical …

The primary objective of an efficient computer numerical control (CNC) finishing toolpath
strategy is to reduce the machining time and maintain desired surface finish (scallop) …

The article presents a novel strategy for enhancing the efficiency of machines that are used
for complex structure machining. It proposes a low-cost five-axis four-linkage milling system …

Determination of cutting forces is the main requirement for understanding the machining
process and optimising its parameters for achieving higher productivity and surface finish …
