Flank wear is found to be the dominant wear characteristic with its temporal evolution over utilization period revealing the typical s-shaped dependence. The flank wear land width is measured by microscopy and correlated to the achievable surface roughness of milled 3D-printed parts, showing that for flank wear levels up to 100 μm a superior surface roughness below 3 μm is accessible for hybrid additive manufacturing. Further, based on this correlation recommended tool, life scenarios can be deduced. In addition, by optimizing the finishing tool start position and the number of afore-built layers, the milling process is improved with respect to the maximum millable angle for undercut surfaces of 3D-printed parts to 30° for the roughing process and to 40° for the entire machining process including finishing}, subject = {Hochgeschwindigkeitsfr{\"a}sen}, language = {de} } @article{KeferPapeRothetal.2021, author = {Kefer, Stefan and Pape, Dominik and Roth, Gian-Luca and Hessler, Steffen and Schmauss, Bernhard and Hellmann, Ralf}, title = {Micromilling-assisted fabrication of monolithic polymer ridge-type waveguides with integrated photonic sensing structures}, series = {Optical Materials Express}, volume = {11}, journal = {Optical Materials Express}, number = {8}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1364/OME.425778}, pages = {2389 -- 2400}, year = {2021}, abstract = {This study demonstrates and discusses a novel approach for the fabrication and rapid prototyping of monolithic photonic platforms comprising a ridge-type waveguide with integrated sensing structures. First, the bulk injection-molded cyclic olefin copolymer substrates are micromilled in order to define the physical extension of the ridge structure. Cross-sections down to 30 × 30 µm2, exhibiting a mean surface roughness of 300 nm, are achieved with this process. Subsequently, UV radiation is used to modify the ridge structure's refractive index, which leads to the formation of an optical waveguide. By employing a phase mask, it is possible to equip the photonic platform with a Bragg grating suitable for temperature measurements with a sensitivity of -5.1 pm K-1. Furthermore, an integrated Fabry-P{\´e}rot cavity, generated during the micromilling step as well, enables refractive index measurements with sensitivities up to 1154 nm RIU-1.}, subject = {Bragg-Reflektor}, language = {en} }
