A Dynamic Simulation Model for Understanding Sustainability of Machining Operation

The environmental impact of machining operations such as milling, drilling, and turning, is often treated a conflicting interest when compared to other factors cost, quality, time, process settings. It more beneficial in the long-term for manufacturer adjust their practices be environmentally conscious. Currently, there are limited existing research showing linkages between factors. objective this study create systems model examine with cutting conditions, efficiency. aims replicate behaviors at unit level generate implications techniques impacts engineering decision making. A case was conducted on CNC operation injection molds climbing holds. simulates tool wear replacement, cutting, energy, surface quality. result contributes manufacturing knowledge by creating quantify better understand trade-offs decisions surrounding parameters technologies. self-governing behavior dynamic can also used decision-making smart control.
