Prior to the downloading of the NC codes to a machining center, the NC tool-path can be verified in a computer. The Z-map is one of the tools for the verification of NC tool-path. The Z-map is a two dimensional array in which the height values of the Z-axis direction vectors are stored. The Z-axis direction vectors are arranged in a rectangular grid pattern on the XY plane. The accuracy of the simulation comes from the grid interval. In the rectangular Z-map, the distances between the grid points are different. The distance in diagonal direction is larger than those in X or Y axis directions. For the rendering of the Z-map, a rectangular grid is divided into two triangular facets. Depending on the selection of a diagonal, there are two different cases. In this paper, triangular Z-map, in which the Z-axis direction vectors are arranged in a triangular grid pattern on XY plane, is proposed. In the triangular Z-map, the distances between grid points are equal. There is no ambiguity to make triangular facets for the rendering.

5-axis CNC machining is being used in the manufacturing of tire mold, screw, and turbine blade because it can produce complex workpiece more efficiently and accurately than 3-axis CNC machining does. However, it is difficult to calculate the CL data in 5-axis CNC machining. This paper describes an efficient method to modify and edit the NC code and a data structure for representation of the workpiece produced by 5-axis CNC machining. Wireframe display of tool path and shading display of workpiece are used to represent verification results. Machining errors can be evaluated quantitively using the data structure based on the workpiece data model. The methods are implemented in a program with a IBM-PC and MS-Windows.

With the contemporary CAD/CAM system, where the tool path is generated and verified purely based on the geometric operation, geometric accuracy of the machined surface cannot be guaranteed dut to the cutting mechanics, meaning that the cutting mechanics should be incorporated in some fashion. In this paper, we incorporate the instantaneous cutting force and the tool deflection phenomena in predicting the machined surface for the finish-cut and milling operation. For the given NC dat including cutting conditions, the developed algorithm computes cutting force and deflection amount along the tool trajectory, and outputs the 3D graphic model of the machined surface together with error analysis. The validity and accuracy of the presented method has been tested by the actual cutting experiments. Experimental results and accuracy enhancement method together with implementing architecture of the VMCS (Virtual Machining CAM System) are discussed in the paper.

A marine propeller is designed for preventing cavitation priority. Cavitation is a phenomenon which is defined as the vibration or noise by dropping the pressure on the high-speed rotation of the propeller. There has to be a enough thrust on the low-speed rotation for preventing cavitation. Thus, it has to be considered in the increasing of the number of blade and the angle of wing to design the propeller. In addition, flow resistance will be increasing by narrowing the width between blades. So high quality surface roughness of the hub to minimize flow resistance is required. Interference problems with tool and neighboring surfaces often take place from this kind of characteristics of the propeller. During 5-Axis machining of these propellers, the excessive local interference avoidance, necessary to avoid interference, leads to inconsistency of cutter posture, low quality of machined surface. Therefore, in order to increase the surface quality, it is necessary to minimize the cutter posture changes and create a continuous tool path while avoiding interference. This study, by using a MC-space algorithm for interference avoidance and a MB-spline algorithm for continuous control, is intended to create a 5-Axis machining tool path with excellent surface quality. Also, an effectiveness is confirmed through a verification manufacturing.

3차원 구조 알루미늄 판재(엠보싱 판재)는 표면적이 증가되어 방열효과가 뛰어나고 가공경화에 의해 굽힘강성 증가효과가 있으므로 자동차 열차단 부품에 널리 사용된다. 그러나 엠보싱 판재는 평판의 판재와 비교하면 기계적 특성이 상이하고 또한 3차원 형상으로 인해 프레스 가공에 있어서 많은 제약이 따른다. 본 연구에서는 프레스 가공공정을 대신하여 최근 신제품의 디자인 검증과 시생산에 널리 채용되고 있는 점진성형공정을 대상으로 엠보싱된 판재의 성형특성을 평가하였다. 본 연구에서 채용한 공구형상을 이용한 사각 원뿔의 점진성형 결과, 엠보싱된 판재의 경우가 평판의 경우보다 더 큰 기울기를 갖는 사각 원뿔을 파단없이 성형할 수 있음을 보였다. 이는 점진성형공정에서 CNC 공구의 이동경로(tool path)하에서 공구가 엠보싱 판재의 산과 골을 눌러 복원시키면서 재료의 소성변형을 증가시키기 때문이다. 또한 공구의 이동경로가 내향 경로보다 외향 경로인 경우가 보다 큰 기울기의 제품을 성형할 수 있지만 스프링 백의 발생으로 제품의 표면품질은 열세에 있음을 보였다.

This paper represents the computer application techniques of initial and modification machining for dies with 3-dimensional scluptured surfaces. All procedures from die design to die machining and measurement are covered. The component of modelling is data management and modification (extrapolation and smoothing), surface modelling, and nc program preparation. Also this paper introduces the utility for successful and efficient operation of system such as map generation, data communication, tool path verification, contour map generation, graphic processing of extrapolation and smoothing results, and CAD/CAM system interface. Examples are given to illustrate the modelling.

AMM(Additive Metal Manufacturing)이라 호칭되는 3차원 금속 프린팅(metal 3-D printing) 공정은 금속분말(metal powder)을 적층 재료로 사용하여 기계적부품용 실형상 금속 파트(metallic parts)를 직접 조형하여 제조한다. 한편, 조형 파트형상의 STL모델에 존재하는 기하학적 오류들과 특징형상들의 특이성으로 인하여 조형 작업 중에 내부에 결함들이 포함된 실형상 파트가 조형될 가능성이 존재하게 되며 이로 인해 3차원 금속 프린팅 조형공정 자체의 신뢰성에 문제를 야기할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 조형작업 중 발생할 수 있는 결함들을 미리 진단, 분석하고 수정하기 위하여 첫째, 조형 전에 STL 형상모델의 진단분석을 통하여 결함요소를 사전에 탐지하고 둘째, 적층 단면내 조형 공구 경로상에 실제로 포함된 결함들을 분석하고 이를 수정하기 위한 조형 파트 진단 및 조형 공구 경로 검증 연구방법을 제시하였다. 또한 DED(direct energy deposition) 공정을 기준으로 2가지 STL 형상파트 사례들에 대하여 제시한 연구방법의 case study를 수행하였다.

This paper describes a post-layout simulation method using VHDL and C for verifying the architecture of antifuse-based FPGAs and the dedicated CAD system. An antifuse-based FPGA consists of programming circuitry including decoding logic, logic modules, segmented tracks, antifuses and I/O pads. The VHDL model which includes all these elements is used for logic verification and programming verification of the implemented circuit by reconstructing the logic circuit from the bit-stream generated from layout tool. The implemented circuit comprises of logic modules and routing networks. Since the routing delay of the complex networks is comparable to the delay of the logic module in the FPGA, the accurate post-layout simulation is essential to the FPGA system. In this paper, the C program calculates the delay of the routing netowrks using SPICE, elmore or horowitz delay models and the results feedback to the VHDL simulation. Critical path anc be found from this post-layout simulation results.

Recently three-dimensional (3-D) die design and production process has been widely introduced into the tooling shops of automotive manufacturers to reduce time-to-production of brand-new automobiles. 3-D solid models created in CAD systems are used not only for various simulations for design verification, but also for NC tool path generation to machine dies and their Styrofoam patterns. However, a lot of time and cost will be required to build solid models for dies if designers use only the generalized modeling capabilities of commercial 3-D CAD systems. To solve this problem, it is necessary to customize 3-D CAD system for the specific die design and manufacturing process. This paper describes a dedicated 3-D CAD system based on Unigraphics for die design for automotive body panels. The system provides not only 3-D design capabilities, but also standard part libraries, to enhance design productivity. The design process modeling technology has been introduced to facilitate redesign of the die for the modified panel. By introducing this system, dies can be designed more rapidly in the 3-D space, and their solid data can be directly transferred to CAM tools for NC tool path generation and simulation tools for virtual manufacturing.
