Complex mold or intricate shaped product can be manufactured by rotational
cutting tool with an increased in cutting speed, a process now known as
high speed cutting; however, shaving remnants are formed according to
the tool shape at the adjoining surfaces or end corner of the product.
This limitation is inevitable, especially when employing rotational tool
in the process. If this limitation can be removed by cutting, the flexibility
of the product form, which can carried out in manufacturing can be extended
greatly.
This paper presents a new manufacturing method to produce an intricate
shaped product utilizing the 6-axis control machining using a non-rotational
cutting tool with the application of ultrasonic vibrations. The result of
experiment shows that intricate shape product has been manufacture using
the new manufacturing method.
