Predicting future chip forms.
Deform-3D is used by cutting tool and other manufacturers to
analyze the influence of tool design, cutting parameters, and tool wear
on machining performance. It is a finite-element based system that can
predict chip form, cutting forces, temperatures, tool wear, workpiece
surface integrity, and other parameters based on cutting tool geometry,
feed, speed, depth of cut, and coolant. It can model turning, milling,
drilling, tapping, broaching, and most other single and multi-point
cutting processes. Its material library contains more than 50 materials,
including common grades of steel, titanium, aluminum, and superalloys.
