The ultimate aim of this study was to investigate the effect of surface finish for a machined part which was programmed by two popular Computer Aided Design / Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) software namely as Catia V5 and Delcam (Delcam for Solidworks - DFS) by using scanned data obtained from one of the Reverse Engineering methods namely Three-Dimensional (3D) scanning process. A crank case cover was chosen as the physical part to be scanned and machined because of its sculptured shape and complex geometry. In this study, simultaneous three-axis machining programs were created and machined using three- axis Computer Numerical Control (CNC) Milling machine; DMC 635 Ecoline. Furthermore, all machining parameters are remained the same for both programs. Initially, the physical crank case cover gone through the first process called scanning process using a 3D scanner; model 700 CX in order to capture the 3D CAD data in points cloud form. The raw scanned data then gone through editing process to obtain better surfaces using Geomagic Studio software. Moreover, the stable and edited CAD model then undergone CAD/CAM programming process for both mentioned software respectively.

  • 238/1 New Adaptive Machining Methods for the Foundry Industry
    New adaptive machining methods for the foundry industry Peter Dickin Delcam, UK. Abstract Computer-based methods for machining and inspection are well established in the foundry industry. More recently, these two technologies have been brought closer together in a new development – adaptive machining. This approach uses a combination of software, such as Delcam’s PowerMILL CAM system and PowerINSPECT software, to give new solutions to a range of challenging manufacturing problems. The programming of most machining operations is based around knowing three things: the position of the workpiece on the machine, the starting shape of the material to be machined, and the final shape that needs to be achieved at the end of the operation. Adaptive machining techniques allow successful machining when at least one of those elements is unknown, by using in-process measurement to close the information gaps in the process chain. Key words (5 maximum). Machining; inspection; in-process measurement 238/1 Introduction Computer-based methods for machining and inspection are well established in the foundry industry. While a small number of companies still rely on programming on the machine tool control or still use copy milling, the great majority now use a CAM system to produce CNC code for their machining operations. Similarly, inspection against CAD data is increasingly used for quality control instead of inspection against drawings. With component designs always becoming more and more complex, these computer-based techniques are often the only practical way to undertake their manufacture. Despite the many benefits these systems bring, there are a range of operations that still remain very challenging, even for companies using the latest technology.
