Residual relief analysis during milling process using surface modeling
Malkova Lyudmila Dmitrievna
Abstract
The study suggests basic procedures of the residual relief formation, analysis and changes during curvilinear surface milling using different milling cutters and CATIA software from Dassault Systemes. The specified parameter of mechanical processing is a rather complex spatial object which creates difficulties for trainees when making technological decisions. The paper shows that using surface modeling not only allows students to see the spatial object and its cross-sections, but also to analyze the affecting factors and draw conclusions on the use of different types of tools. The advantages of surface modeling are emphasized.The approach of using surface modeling in training forms a major underpinning for the theoretical course and practicals, allows students to effectively learn the material, set and solve their own research tasks.
