Abstract

Until now, the complex kinematics and geometries as well as high quality requirements have prevented the use of all-ceramic prostheses for the medical treatment of knee joints. High-precision grinding and polishing processes for free-formed ceramic surfaces are essential for this purpose. Constantly changing contact conditions have to be considered to ensure a constant material removal. Within this work, appropriate tools are introduced which are able to adjust to the form variation of the component contour.
