The majority of cutting force models applied for the ball end milling process includes only the
influence of cutting parameters (eg feedrate, depth of cut, cutting speed) and estimates …

Tool wear on the cutting edges of micro end mills is an important issue affecting process
outputs such as tool deflections and surface roughness, especially when difficult-to-cut …

In this paper, a new methodology for the selection of the milling toolpaths on complex
surfaces that minimize dimensional errors due to tool defection is presented. In this way, an …

During milling operations, regenerative and periodic forces are generated from the
interactions of cutting tools and workpieces. While the regenerative forces can be preempted …

Industrial demand for models and simulation tools that can predict dimensional errors in
manufacturing processes is vigorous. One example of these processes is ball-end finishing …

Tool deflection during milling operation leads to dimensional error, decreasing surface
quality and increasing rejection rate. In this study, tool deflection during the milling of the …

In this paper, the use of the ball burnishing process to improve the final quality of form tools
(moulds and dies) is studied. This process changes the roughness of the previously ball-end …

The contact stiffness of the spindle/tool holder is essential for the cutting stability of the
spindle system because the elastic connection of the spindle/tool holder interface …

High speed milling is an operation frequently used in finishing and semi-finishing of dies
and molds. However, when it is necessary to produce molds with deep cavities and/or with …

The current trend towards product miniaturisation is leading to a major increase in
microtechnologies, including micromilling. Although this technique is highly similar to …
