The Technical Secretary Prof. Marco Santochi Go back to the Table of Contents Awards It is our pleasure to announce that our colleague, Professor Inyong Ham, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, Pennsylvania State University, has received the highest civilian award of Republic of Korea; Mukungwha Award at the national ceremony of Science Day on April 21, 1998, in recognition of Dr. Ham’s distinguished service for advancement of science and technology in Korea and also his outstanding professional accomplishments world-wide in engineering education and research. ******** It is our pleasure to announce that our colleague Professor Hubert J. J. Kals has received by the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME) the 1998 SME Frederick W. Taylor Research Medal at SME's Annual Awards Banquet on Saturday evening, May 30 1998, at the Renaissance Cleveland Hotel, Cleveland, Ohio. He has been honored for his academic and research leadership and the outstanding quality and quantity of his published writings, all of which have contributed to improved manufacturing processes. His research has emphasized manufacturing technology and operations management. Similarly, his leadership role among technical and research committees of the European Community and i including the International Institution for Product Engineering Research (CIRP), have enhanced manufacturing progress worldwide. The SME Frederick W. Taylor Research Medal is granted for published research leading to a better understanding of materials, facilities, principles, and their operations, and their application to improve manufacturing processes. Dr. Kals is a professor and head of the Laboratory of Production and Design Engineering, Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Twente, The Netherlands. In 1995, he founded the university's Centre for Integrated Manufacturing and Development, where he currently serves as director. In addition, he serves as advisor to several industrial companies and as president of CIRP. Dr. Kals' creation of software is the direct result of his pioneering research in planning and control of manufacturing operations in factories. Industrial demand for this product resulted in the formation of two companies that serve to market and apply the software to industry. Since 1993, he has been active in the development and introduction of a new project-based undergraduate manufacturing education program. The manufacturing aspect (in which 40 percent of the education activities are executed by student teams) has been the first project-based program of its kind implemented at a technical university in The Netherlands. Dr. Kals has authored six books and more than 150 research and technical papers on metal cutting, sheet metal working, stability of machine tools, tool materials, computer aided process planning, and the control and monitoring of networks for workshop control. Among his many achievements, he was granted a Fellowship from the Royal Society of London; a Certificate of Recognition of Outstanding Contributions to Engineering Education and Research from George Washington University; and an honorary membership from the Rumanian Society of Mechanical Engineers. Dr. Kals earned bachelor's and master's degrees cum laude and received his doctorate in technical science from the Technological University of Eindhoven in The Netherlands. ******** It is our pleasure to announce that our colleague Professor Marvin F. DeVries, has received by the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME) the 1998 SME Education Award at SME's Annual Awards Banquet on Saturday evening, May 30 1998, at the Renaissance Cleveland Hotel, Cleveland, Ohio. Dr. DeVries has been a dedicated and active advocate of manufacturing engineering education at many levels. Internationally recognized for his contributions, he has devoted countless hours to advance teaching methods and has influenced many students to pursue careers in manufacturing engineering. The SME Education Award is granted for development of manufacturing related curricula; fostering sound training methods; or inspiring students to enter the profession of manufacturing engineering.

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.
