Title	Reliability Analysis of On-Demand High-Speed Machining
Advisor	Fofana, Mustapha S, ME
Availability	unrestricted
Abstract Current trends in high-speed machining aim to increase manufacturing efficiency by maximizing material removal rates and minimizing part cycle times. This project explores three related technologies and presents a system design for rapid production of custom machined parts. First a reliability analysis in high-speed machining of thin wall features is put forth with experimental results. Second an implementation of on-demand manufacturing is presented with emphasis on flexibility and automation. Finally innovative manufacturing cell design is used to drive costs down by optimizing material and information flow. The resulting high-speed on-demand machining cell design employs effective techniques to reduce production time, meet changing customer needs, and drive down costs.
