Abstract

Urgency of the research. Most of the work of scientists is devoted to the automated design of the products of the most cabinet furniture on the basis of various CAD. Very few works devoted precisely to designing and manufacturing of bulky reliefs on furniture facades with the help of CAD systems. Therefore, the introduction of CAD is precisely for the design of complex reliefs and shapes for furniture facades and wood products. Target setting. Development and design of complex geometric form of relief for furniture facades and preparation of programs for CNC system ArtCAM. Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. In Ukraine, in the process of preparing reliefs for furniture facades and wood products, both general purpose design systems (ArtCAM, AutoCAD, T-Flex CAD, ArchiCAD, SolidWorks, DecoDesign, 3D Studio Max, etc.) and specialized design systems (Woody, bCAD , PRO100, K3-Furniture, etc.). Also, you should specify a number of software packages for the preparation of control programs for CNC machines such as ArtCAM, FeatureCAM, PowerMill, MasterCAM, etc. Uninvestigated parts of general matters defining. Very few works devoted precisely to designing and manufacturing of bulky reliefs on furniture facades with the help of CAD systems. Therefore, the introduction of CAD is precisely for the design of complex reliefs and shapes for furniture facades and wood products. The research objective. Methodology for manufacturing furniture facades complex geometric shapes and floral ornament using the software package, Autodesk ArtCam. The statement of basic materials. Proposes a technique for preparing furniture facades of complex shapes and floral ornaments using Autodesk's ArtCam software package. The work describes the stages of designing, modelling and manufacturing decorative elements using photographs and author's sketches. A control program for processing a decorative element for a CNC milling machine has been developed. The choice of cutting modes and cutting tools is justified. The efficiency of using modern software and CNC machines for furniture production is considered. Conclusions In a large woodworking company, the CNC milling machine is used only as one of the elements of the technological process. With a large assortment and large volumes of facade production, such a "narrow specialization" of production is highly justified. However, for a small enterprise that works with individual orders or manufactures design furniture, it is logical to use the capabilities of CNC milling machine more widely.
