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. -

2.5D Drilling and Milling. Fast, Safe and Highly Automated
2.5D DRILLING AND MILLING with withfeature Feature design Design 2.5D DRILLING AND MILLING. FAST, SAFE AND HIGHLY AUTOMATED. Import data, identify features, calculate toolpaths automatically – Tebis CAD/CAM software automates 2.5D machining in die and mold manufacturing, in industrial manufacturing and in other industries. By representing all machining tasks in parametrized Feature 2.5D Drilling Design and Milling features, it enables a high level of automation. And linkage to Tebis AutoMill® NC templates delivers advantages along the entire process chain, from design and NC programming to machine manufacturing. The benefits of the Tebis solution start right from the design stage, because Tebis copies features from a variety of other CAD systems and evaluates imported CAD geometries. Tebis efficiently identifies all manufacturing objects, thus reducing the amount of drawing work needed. And when it comes to NC programming, information flows automatically from the manufacturing objects into the NC programs. Tested machining processes are saved in NC templates and are then made available to all users. With just a few clicks of the mouse, you can produce optimized NC programs containing collision- checked tool assemblies, even for complex parts. You‘ll also save time in production, where your ratio of productive time to non-productive time will steadily improve because your NC controls are no longer used for programming. Errors caused by manually copying data from a drawing into the machine control are completely eliminated thanks to a digital process chain. And even with this high level of automation, users can intervene at any point to optimize the design of their processes. -
Chapter 1. Industrial Users Perspectives
Chapter 1. Industrial Users Perspectives Cutting MoldslDies from Scan data Rao S. Vadlamudi Venture Engineering, Research & Development, 1027 E. 14 Mile Rd., Troy, MI-48083 Keywords Optical scanners, duplicating dies/molds, cam software, scan data, stl files Abstract This paper discuss the state ofthe art technology in duplicating an existing mold or die using digitized data from Optical scanners, instead of using traditional "copy milling". Both the technical results and experience from the process to achieve these results are expressed. The main process is discussed highlighting the benefits of using new technology versus copy milling or from surface. The main process consists of : 1) Scanning: An existing mold or die is scanned using Optical scanners. The software and hardware used to scan the die/mold are described in detail with the advantages of using Optical scanners versus laser scanners. 2) Data preparation: Once the die/mold is scanned, the data is pre-processed to read to any CAD/CAM systems. An STL (Steriolithography format) file is created for cutterpath generation and section lines are created, in case if surface development is required, for other applications. 3) Creating toolpaths using CAM software : Major issues in cutting the scan data are discussed. 4) Cutting p-20 steel on CNC mlc 5) Quality Check: Checking the die/mold with the following procedures a) CMM machine, b) Using the same scanner. In this process, we compare the dimensional accuracy of duplicated die/mold with original die/mold using Optical scanners and CMM machines. We cut one die for Chrysler Corporation using the above process and the results are very impressive. -
