The present paper introduces the use of voxels embedded in an octree structure in order to numerically simulate manufacturing processes. In particular, micro electrical discharge machining (μEDM) is used here as a case study. The involved elements (tool and workpiece) are modelized in a volumetric manner using voxels and the process is simulated on a step-by step basis. Comparisons using the Hausdorff metric with experimental results are included and discussed.

A comparative study between NURBS surfaces and voxels to simulate the wear phenomenon in micro-EDM Article dans une revue avec comité de lectureSURLERAUX, Anthony; BIGOT, Samuel; PERNOT, Jean-Philippe (CAD Solutions LLC (imprimé) and Taylor & Francis Online (en ligne), 2016)The prediction of the tool wear phenomenon in the micro electro discharge machining technology would be of a great use in the optimization of tool shapes. In order to do so, the ability to rapidly and precisely simulate ...
