摘要
A human face with complex 3D structure is machined with a modified fix-length compensation method in this paper.The fast development of MEMS (Micro Electromechanical Systems) has strongly enhanced the application of new harder work materials.As a low cost,flexible,good repeatable machining process with negligible process forces,micro-EDM milling is well suited for freeform metallic micro structures.A major problem in micro-EDM milling of complex 3D structure is the electrode wear.A new CAM system based on the UG software platform is developed in order to get good accuracy and higher efficiency.A correction coefficient is introduced and deduced for the modified fix-length compensation method.Using this method a human face with complex 3D stricter is machined successfully by micro-EDM milling.
