Innovative Additive Manufacturing Cutting Tool Design Methodology for Automotive Large Boring Operations such as E-Motor housing

Abstract

The machining of automotive parts with large dimension diameters requires specific process conditions and cutting tool engineering. In the following article, we will expose the details of an innovative cutting tool design methodology for large boring operations, involving additive manufacturing. The tool design approach and the numerical simulation method are now fully developed, enabling machining operation simulation to predict process behavior and the associated machined surface condition. Finally, an experimental campaign based on the previous results is performed to validate the predictive character of the approach.
