The purpose of this research is to investigate optimum machining conditions to improve the quality of die using the CAD/CAM system(Power Shape/Power Mill) and 3D printing. Surface roughness is widely used as an index for processing degree of accuracy. The Power Shape was used to model the shape of product. And the model shape is confirmed by 3D printing system(BFB-3000). Also, tool path and NC-codes were generated using Power Mill. Finally, the product was cut using CNC machine(NBS-2025). The cutting time and surface roughness were measured by measuring instrument. And then this process was repeated by changing the conditions to find optimal machining conditions. The surface roughness behavior with regard to specific factors were analyzed. Through this study, the optimal machining condition can be obtained.

Recently, environmental pollution has become a significant problem in industry and many researchers have investigated in order to preserve the environment. Environmentally conscious machining and technology have more important position in machining process, because cutting fluid has bad influence on the environment in milling process. This research is the experimental study on high speed machining of aluminum alloys through environmentally conscious machining. In this study, the surface roughness and chip appearance was investigated in the machining of aluminum alloys by dry machining, using cutting fluid and oil mist.

This paper proposes methods for pencil machining and uncut area machining. Based on Z-map represented by triangular facets, self-intersection-free offset surface is generated with K-offset method in case of ball mill and flat mill Pencil machining can elliminate overload area before main machining rough, semi-finish and finish cutting,preventing fluctuations of cutting forces in concave regions form causing bad machining condition. Low productivity is caused by uncut area which has excessive or irreguar finishing allowance. Uncut area machining has the finishing allowance keep uniformly on part surface. This paper deals with two types of uncaut area, machining detection of excessive area and user-defined area.

Due to the high feed rate,high speed machining (HSM) provide a great potential of rationalization for the machining Dies and Moulds. But determination of cutting condition is very difficult, because cutting mechanism of high speed machining is very complicated,especially using ball end-mill. This paoer gives a report on selection of the optimal cutting condition to improve the machining efficiency, And optimal machining condition is determined through the cutting force, FFT analysis of cutting force and surface roughness according to the cutting condition. Based on this experiment result,wear process and machining characteristics are evaluated.

Even though most die-maker are using CAD/CAM systems rout NC tool-path generation, “front-end”CAD/CAM technologies have not been fully adapted to sculptured surface machining(SSM) nor are sufficiently utilized in die shops. This gap between die-making industry and CAD/CAM community persists mainly because of the lack of a SSM-process model through which the two groups communicate with each other. Proposed in this paper is a model of SSM-processes which is built around the concepts of machining stages, unit machining operations, and each machining stage is decomposed into a sequence of unit machining operations(UMOs). Identified in the paper are five machining stages and 17 types of UMO. Based on the framework of the proposed model, an example of inner-panel stamping-die machining processes is described in detail.

In the wire cut electrical discharge machining, the optimal machining parameters setting satisfying the requirements of both high efficiency and good quality is very difficult because its process involves a series of complex physical phenomena and the machining parameters are numerous over diverse range. In this paper, the experimental investigation has been performed to find out the influence of the machining parameters on the machining performance such as cutting speed and surface roughness. The selected experimental parameters are no load voltage, discharge peak current and pulse-off time. The experimental results give the guideline for selecting suitable machining parameters.

In many manufacturing such as the components of airplane and automobile, aluminum alloys(Al2024) which remarkable in low specific gravity and high strength have been utilized effectively. Face milling machining technology for surface roughness quality of workpiece has been applied in these fields. A face milling machining with chamfered throw away type insert tip can produce a perfect flat surface only in theory. But It is impossible because of many unwanted factors, namely, cutting temperature, plastic deformation, dynamic effect, etc. In this paper, experimental investigations are performed to improve surface roughness after high speed machining of Al2024 using qualified face milling cutter body for high speed machining.

In modem manufacturing industries such as the airplane and automobile, aluminum alloys which are remarkable in durability have been utilized effectively. High-speed machining technology for surface roughness quality of workpiece has been applied in these fields. Higher cutting speed and feedrates lead to a reduction of machining time and increase of surface quality. Furthermore, the reduction of time required for polishing or lapping of machined surfaces improves the production rate. Traditional milling process for high speed cutting can be machined with end mill tool. However, such processes are generally cost-expensive and have low material removal rate. Thus, in this paper, face milling cutter which gives high MRR has developed face milling cutter body for the high speed machining of light alloy to overcome the problems. Also vibration experiment to detect natural frequency in free state and frequency characteristics during machining are performed to escape resonance.

For geometric accuracy in the net shape machining, the problem of tool deflection should be resolved in some fashion. In particular, this is crucial in finish cut operation where slim tools are used. The purpose of this paper is to verify the validity and effectiveness of the prediction model of the machined surface. Experimental results are presented for the cut of steel material with HSS endmill of diameter 6mm on machining center. The results shows that 1) the machining error due totool deflection is serious even in the low cutting load, 2) by using the mechanistic simulation model with experimental coefficients, the machining error was predicted with maximum prediction error of 10% which was significantly reduced to the desired level by the path modification method.
