*** 小行星9761544 小企业创新研究（SBIR）第一阶段项目将开发用于金属切削毛刺预测的核心软件模块，这些模块是设计和制造专用软件工具集成套件的一部分。 这些工具的目的是1）预测和最小化加工中的抛光形成，以及2）基于这些预测的抛光特性选择和规划去毛刺操作。 将开发抛光预测模型和相应的模型驱动毛刺预测软件模块。 这些模块（一个用于铣削，另一个用于钻孔）将作为“边缘精整大师”的基本抛光预测引擎，这是一个全面的毛刺最小化和去毛刺工艺规划软件工具。 该软件将通过在设计和工艺规划期间引入毛刺最小化来支持机械部件的可制造性设计。 预期在具有毛刺问题的行业中具有潜在的商业应用。 这些制造业包括航空航天、汽车、计算机组件、生物医学、化学、重型设备和光学。 该软件将与商用计算机辅助设计（CAD）软件包、商用工艺规划软件包以及商用工具和材料数据库集成。 该软件的毛刺预测和最小化功能可用于零件的早期设计和工艺规划阶段，在投入主要资源之前，可最大限度地灵活调整零件设计和制造计划。 ***

*** 9761544 Park The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will develop core software modules for burr prediction in metal cutting, which are part of an integrated suite of specialized software tools for design and manufacturing. These tools are aimed at 1) predicting and minimizing buff formation in machining and 2) selecting and planning deburring operations, based upon these predicted buff characteristics. Buff prediction models and corresponding model-driven burr prediction software modules will be developed. These modules (one for milling and another for drilling) will serve as the basic buff prediction engines of the "Edge Finishing Master", a comprehensive burr minimization and deburring process planning software tool. This software will support the design for manufacturability of mechanical components by introducing burr minimization during design and process planning. Potential commercial applications are expected in industries with burr problems. These manufacturing industries include aerospace, automotive, computer components, biomedical, chemical, heavy equipment, and optical. This software is will be integrated with commercial computer-aided design (CAD) packages, commercial process planning packages, and commercially available tooling and material databases. The burr prediction and minimization capabilities of this software can be utilized in the early design and process planning stages of a part, allowing the maximum flexibility for adjustments to the part design and manufacturing plan before major resources have been committed. ***
