This research examines the feasibility of machining components with precise tolerances using machines smaller than the completed part. This can conceptually be achieved in two ways. 1.) move a part around a machine, machining a portion of the part...
With nonrigid parts, it is most convenient for designers to specify the desired shape in the design condition; that is, the shape is specified with all loads present that the part will experience in service (gravity, assembly constraints, etc.). T...
Advances in technology are driving optical systems to become more and more complex and compact. Ultra-precision machining centers have advanced to catch up with optical designs but there is a defined set of methods defining the use of the machines...
