A novel framework for incorporating machine limitations into component design for 5-axis milling

This paper introduces a novel framework for incorporating machine limitations into the design process of turbine compressor blade geometries in 5-axis milling. By utilizing analytical equations, the expected deviation in feed rate and position can be quantified based on the component's design, leading to the identification of additional geometric boundary conditions. The approach is validated through machining experiments on simple single-blade geometries. The framework enables better collaboration between component design and process design, leading to improved manufacturing precision, reduced process time, and enhanced turbine part quality.
