This study deals with the machining of sculptured surfaces on 5-axis CNC milling machine with end mill cutter. The study (I) has the following contents. In 5-axis CNC milling, CL-data consist of CC-data and cutter axis direction vector at the CC-point. Thus, in machining of the sculptured surface on 5-axis CNC milling machine, determination of the direction vector of the milling cutter is very important. The direction vector is obtained by the fact that bottom plane of the milling cutter must not interfere with the free-form surface being machined. The interference is checked by the z-map method which can be applied in all geometric types of the sculptured surfaces. After generating NC part programs from 5-axis post-processing algorithms, sculptured surfaces were machined with 5-axis CNC milling machine (CINCINNATI MILACRON, 20V-80). From these machining tests, it was shown that the machining of the free-form surfaces on 5-axis CNC milling machine with the end mill has smaller cusp heights and shorter cutting time than on 3-axis CNC milling machine with the ball-end mill. Thus, 5-axis CNC end milling was effective machining method for sculptured surfaces. The study (II) deals with the prediction of cusp height and the determination of tool path interval for the 5-axis machining of sculptured surfaces on the basis of study(I).

For the machining of the sculptured surfaces on 5-axis CNC milling machine, the milling cutter direction vector was determined in the study (I) with 5-axis post-processing. Thus, it was possible to cut the sculptured surfaces on five-axis CNC milling machine with the end mill cutter. Then, for smooth machined surfaces in five-axis machining of free-from surfaces, this study develops an algorithm for prediction of cusp heights. Also, it generates tool path such that the cusp heights are constrained to a constant value or under a certain value. For prediction of the cusp height between two basis points, a common plane, containing the line crossing two basis points and the summation vector of two normal vectors at two basis points, is defined. The cusp height is the maximum value of scallops on the common plane after end mill cutter passes through the common plane. Sculptured surfaces were machined with CINCINNATI MILACRON 5-axis machining center, model 20V-80, using end mill cutter. Cusp heights were verified by 3-dimensional measuring machine with laser scanner, WEGU Messtechnik GmbH.

We used a construction method using a CNC milling machine, where free-formed molds were made by cutting EPS (Expanded PolyStyrene) foam with the CNC machine, to build free-formed buildings. CNC milling is off-the-shelf technology that can easily cut EPS foam; however its production cost is too high and the time to manufacture an EPS mold is too long. This paper proposes a novel cutting machine with a fast and cost effective mechanism to manufacture EPS concrete molds. Our machine comprises a cutter and Cartesian coordinate type moving mechanism, where the cutter cuts EPS foam using a hotwire in the shape of '$\sqcap$' and is capable of adjusting its cutting angle in real-time while keeping its cutting width. We proved through cutting experiments on the CNC machine that cutting time was greatly shortened compared to the conventional method and that the resulting concrete mold satisfied manufacturing precision.

최근 치과보철물 제작 방식은 ICT를 기반으로 하는 디지털방식으로 변화를하고 있다. 특히 치과용 CAD/CAM이나 3D 프린팅의 등장으로 임상에서는 아날로그 방식에서 점진적으로 컴퓨터를 활용하는 디지털 방식을 선택하고 있다. 임플란트의 어버트먼트를 제작하는 방식은 기존의 환봉제작 방식과 CNC 밀링기를 활용하여 제작하는 방식이 있다. 본 연구에서는 두 가지 방법으로 보철물의 변연과 교합면을 제작할 때 보다 정밀하고 오차가 적은 제작 방법이 무엇인지를 얻고자 실험을 실시하였다. 실험 결과 CNC 밀링기를 활용하여 임플란트 어버트먼트 보철물을 제작하는 방식이 변연과 교합면의 적합도 모두에서 오차가 적고 정교한 가공이 가능하여 맞춤형 보철물 제작을 하는데 유용한 것으로 나타났다.

The current study presents a simple setup method for making teeth models using a three-axis CNC milling machine. Physical teeth models can be made by several methods: casting, machining, and three-dimensional printing. Since the shape of a teeth model requires five-axis machining, the machining of a teeth model using a three-axis CNC milling machine requires careful setup operations. In this paper a simple datum shape is designed within the work piece of the teeth model. The datum shape is an n-sided prism with regular n-polygon ends and rectangular sides. In the present study a 12-sided prism is used, which easily makes 30 degree rotations for finish machining. The proposed setup approach does not require any special tools for making the teeth model using a three-axis CNC milling machine. A test was run and the results show that the proposed approach is useful for experimental makings with the limited facilities available.

End milling is available for machining the various shape of products and has been widely applied in many manufacturing industries. The quality of products depends on a machine tool performance and machining conditions. Recognition characteristics of the cutting condition is becoming a critical requirement for improving the utilization and flexibility of present-day CNC machine tools. The measurement of tool wear would be performed by coordinate-measuring machine(CMM). However, the usage of CMM requires much time and cost. In order to overcome the difficulties, on-line measurement(OLM) system was applied for a tool wear measurement. This study shows a reliable technique for the reduction of machining error components by developing a system using a CCD camera and machine vision to be able to precisely measure the size of tool wear in flat end milling for CNC machining. The CCD camera and machine vision attached to a CNC machine can determine tool wear quickly and easily.
