The Femtoprint Project

Yves Bellouard, Reymond Clavel, Jean-Marc Breguet

The Femtoprint project, a European project, aims at demonstrating the use of low-energy laser pulses (i.e. below the ablation threshold) to manufacture monolithically integrated devices including optofluidic, optomechanical and photonic devices. The longer ...

Friction at the tool-chip interface during orthogonal nanometric machining

Jean-François Molinari, Guillaume Anciaux, Pedro Romero

Understanding the unfolding of friction between the tool and the generated chip is of fundamental importance to nanometric machining processes. To this end, this paper investigates the influence of tool geometry, lattice orientation, machining velocity and ...

Cutting Force Modelling for Drilling of Fiber-Reinforced Composites

Mihai-Bogdan Lazar

Although used in a very large variety of applications, drilling is one of the most complex and least understood manufacturing processes. Most of the research on drilling was done in the field of metal cutting for mechanical parts since, in this case, high ...

Optimal selection of cutting parameters in multi-tool milling operations using a genetic algorithm

Paul Xirouchakis, Jitender Kumar Rai, Mohammed Slama, Daniel Brand

In the milling of large monolithic structural components for aircraft, 70-80% of the total cut volume is removed using high-speed roughing operations. In order to achieve the economic objective (i.e. optimal part quality in minimal machining time) of this ...
