Diamond turning, fly-cutting, and milling are the primary manufacturing technologies for
generating free-form surfaces; however, they are not sufficiently effective in machining free …

The optical glass is a typical difficult-to-cut material for single-point diamond turning because
of its high hardness and low fracture toughness. The application of high-frequency vibration …

Advancements in diamond turning technology with tool servo configurations enables the
generation of precise freeform surfaces. However, the profile accuracy is mainly limited due …

Axis single-point diamond turning adds two linked axes based on 3-axis single-point
diamond turning, which can smoothly and continuously process complex surfaces …

In this paper, a 3D finite element (FE) model is proposed for the diamond turning of spherical
surfaces, and the movement control subroutine in the software is developed to describe the …

Freeform surfaces are gaining popularity in vast engineering applications including optical
engineering, aerospace, automotive, and biomedical. Success of freeform surfaces lies with …

The typical tool path of turning freeform surfaces is spiral. Usually, this kind of tool path only
can deal with continuous surfaces within a circular area. If the designed surfaces are not …
