The research project aims at improving the micro-production chain to generate knowledge about related process stages, including potential improvements of productivity and quality. It is intended to deepen the use of simulation methods in process optimisation. First, the process planning will be focussed on the analysis of significant impact factors in micro-machining and on the reduction of processing times. Secondly, the process and machine setup and the micro-machining itself will be investigated focusing on its improvement by using enhanced monitoring and simulation techniques. Finally, the part control will be improved regarding measurement methodologies to effectively and accurately provide part information. In order to consider all these different aspects and their impact on the micro-milling chain, the partners will join their forces and bring their specific knowledge and experience from different disciplines for jointly contributing to the improvement of micro-milling processes based on their particular expertise. The knowledge and results gained in the fundamental research activities and through the planned cooperation will considerably improve the competitiveness of the research partners together with the possibilities to spread this knowledge and technology to support micro-manufacturing industries in both countries to introduce novel machining processes. This will help micro-manufacturing and especially the mould making industry to reach superior surface quality, tight machining tolerance, shorter machining time with less wear and tear on their machines and tooling. In summary, this project focuses on the development of knowledge and solutions for innovating critical aspects of micro-milling processes, concentrating on the production of moulds for micro-featured products, targeting the improvement of productivity, efficiency and on the advancement of strategies for optimising costs and quality. The envisaged research project faces some important challenges described in the scope and framework of the BRAGECRIM and contributes to the objectives expressed in this research initiative and the interests of Brazil and Germany to improve competitiveness and the level in production technology.
