Process improvement in milling through improved understanding of machining dynamics is an on-going research endeavor. The objective of this project is to advance digital modeling of the milling process by incorporating tool-specific geometry in the machining analysis. Structured light scanning will be used to perform tool geometry measurements and produce a 3D model. The 3D model data will include the spatial location of the cutting edges, as well as the rake and relief profiles from the tool cross section. The rake and relief profiles will be imported, together with the work material flow stress model, into a finite element analysis …
