Abstract

ABSTRACT
In this paper, the computer aided manufacturing solution is presented for
manufacturing a complex surface of the stator blades in addition to the technology
implementation on the CNC machine tools in five axes. The particularities of the
ESPRIT CAM software are underlining. In the present work, the last module created
by DP Technology (dedicate to manufacturing the impeller) is used. Starting with the
import of the CAD model, the technology is elaborated and the NC program is
generated. The optimized solution, using two different milling strategies, is
underlining the capabilities of the CAM software.
