End Mill Tools Integration in CNC Machining for Rapid Manufacturing Processes: Simulation Studies

Computer numerical controlled (CNC) machining has been recognized as a manufacturing process that is capable of producing metal parts with high precision and reliable quality, whereas many additive manufacturing methods are less capable in these respects. The introduction of a new layer-removal meth...
