A digital twin study for immediate design / redesign of impellers and blades: Part 1: CAD modelling and tool path simulation

This paper presents a digital twining study conducted for an immediate design / redesign and manufacturing of on impellers & blades. It is by accomplished developing (i) CAD automation methods, based the standard modelling procedures (ii) Manufacturing 3/3 + 1/3 2/5 axis milling process. Initially, model impeller blade created utilizing dimensional parameters obtained through calculations data. then parametrized converted to automated simple rules geometric algorithms developed purpose. After this stage, analyzed where process planning data comprising cutting tools, setups are selected. Here, tool paths generated considering CNC Vertical Machining Center (VMC) digitally twin Both plans including path generation captured journaling customized improved using Application Programmable Interface’s (API’s) suit present scope. In paper, first part simulation methodologies discussed validating concept in virtual environment. The work with focus help industries moving towards Industry 4.0 requiring constant improvement their products. emphasizing importance twinning concurrent verification can be achieved.
