A Study on CAD/CAM Application in CNC Milling Using Industrial Clay

Article Preview

Abstract:

Throughout the production process, improper planning and exploitation of the CAD/CAM system leads to the low level utilization of the CNC milling machine. In product design, tangible prototype is fabricated using CAD/CAM techniques in the design phase to analyse and modify the product before actual production. In this research, industrial clay is used as the prototype material. The objectives of the study are to investigate the machining parameters of industrial clay using the CNC milling machine and to apply the CAD/CAM system in producing a clay sample part via the CNC milling machine. Using uncomplicated and low cost setup for the fabrication method, an industrial clay sample part is prepared in the CAD/CAM system and shaped using the CNC milling machine. The difference between the simulated and the actual machining time of the machined part is analysed.
