Specially Designed Lattice Structure for Milling Cutter Supported by FEA

Cutter Path Generation For 2.5D Milling By Combining Multiple Different Cutter Path Patterns

Different cutter path patterns have been shown to be efficient for different types of pocket geometries. However, for certain types of complex pockets, no single type of pattern produces efficient cutter paths throughout the pocket. In this paper, different cutter path patterns are systematically analysed and several existing heuristics for selecting cutter path patterns are discussed. Based on...

Specially Designed Copings for Stability of Overdentures

Aim: The aim of this study was to describe the process of fabrication of specially designed MCOP and define their function in improving of stability. Purpose: In many clinical situations, exposed dentin surfaces of abutment teeth were restored with metal copings prior to fabrication of the overdentures. The aim of this study was to examine a procedure for fabrication of specially designed metal...

Study of the effective cutter radius for end milling of free-form surfaces using a torus milling cutter

A Geometric Algorithm for Finding the Largest Milling Cutter

In this paper, we describe a new geometric algorithm to determine the largest feasible cutter size for 2-D milling operations to be performed using a single cutter. In particular: 1. We give a general definition of the problem as the task of covering a target region without interfering with an obstruction region. This definition encompasses the task of milling a general 2-D profile that include...

Finding the Maximal Cutter for 2-d Milling Operations

NC machining is being used to create increasingly complex shapes. These complex shapes are used in a variety of defense, aerospace, and automotive applications to (1) provide performance improvements, and (2) create high performance tooling (e.g., molds for injection molding). The importance of the machining process is increasing due to latest advances in high speed machining that allows machin...
