基于CATIA结合PowerMILL在零件制造中的应用

Application of CATIA and PowerMILL in Parts Manufacturing

以电极模型为例,详细讨论了电极模型零件的设计和数控加工技术。首先根据电极模型的产品形状和加工要求,采用CATIA完成零件的CAD设计,生成三维实体模型;然后将构建好的三维实体模型保存为"STEP"或者"IGES"格式,利用CATIA和PowerMILL的接口技术,将三维实体模型导入到PowerMILL中,完成电极模型的CAM加工编程。从而实现了零件加工的CAD/CAM一体化。

Taken the electrode model for example, the design and the NC machining technology of the electrode model part was discussed. According to the shape and processing requirements of the part, the CAD design by using CATIA was completed to generate the three-dimensional and full-scale models; then save them in the ＂STEP＂ and ＂IGES＂ format, import them into Power- MILL by using the interfacing technology of CATIA and PowerMILL. Finally the electrode models＇ CAM machining programming was finished, the integration of the CAD and CAM of the parts procssing was achieved.
