Geometric Manufacturing Solutions for Freeform Shapes (GEMS)

Start date: Jun 1, 2012, End date: May 31, 2016,

"Freeform shapes represent one of today's important manufacturing challenges. This applies to numerically controlled (NC) machining of parts to be produced in large amounts as well as to outer surfaces and subconstructions for unique designs in modern architecture. However, currently no systematic method exists which could reconcile the competing aims of faithfully reproducing smooth surfaces with ...

Dynamic manufacturing of thin-walled work pieces by milling process (DYNAMILL)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2015,

Lightweight components are gaining in importance in EU key industries with good market growth potential (aerospace, automotive, power generation, medical technology etc.). To achieve weight reductions, complex thin-walled structures are combined with high strength materials. However, the lower stiffness of work pieces leads to severe challenges during the milling process:- Difficulty to achieve hi ...

Production Flexibility and Efficiency through Simultaneous Three Axis Turning (FlexiSTAT)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2015,

In manufacturing of industrial parts, turning is one of the most important manufacturing processes and is applied mainly by SMEs. However, until today, turning processes suffer from inflexible machine characteristics, as to mention an extreme high amount of needed tool holders and frequent tool changes caused by tool lives of > 3 minutes. In order to raise production flexibility and efficiency sig ...

Automated Polishing for the European Tooling Industry (poliMATIC)

Start date: Jun 1, 2010, End date: May 31, 2013,

poliMATIC - Automated polishing for the European Tooling IndustryFor the manufacturing of tools 12 to 15 % of the manufacturing costs and 30 to 50 % of the manufacturing time are allocated to polishing. As current automated polishing techniques are almost not applicable on parts with freeform surfaces and function relevant edges like 95% of the tools, the polishing is predominantly done manually.T ...
