To improve the quality and efficiency of thin-wall and weak rigid parts, a physical simulation software Advan tEdge for metal cutting process is proposed. And physical simulation analysis is made on the cutting process of a certain thin-wall aluminum alloy work piece with weak rigidity. Thus the geometrical parameters of tools are optimized based on analysis of cutting force and heat. Meanwhile, we have in, proved the cutting parameters to optimize the cutting force. The optimized lools and cutting parameters are used to guide the practical productiou. As a result, cutting deformation is effectively controlled in practical process. The dimensional and geometric accuracy of the work piece meets the design requirement and the milling processing efficiency is improved by 15% or more.
