Abstract

In this research, information’s, journals and articles regarding CAD/CAM turbine blade and five-axis machining tool path have been searched for better acknowledgement and understanding. Currently, some problem has been occurred in turbine blade such as premature failure of blade caused by serious manufacturing defects. Objectives of this research are producing suitable machining cutting tool path utilizing CATIA V5 and accuracy is investigated. Turbine Blade CAD model has been selected from GrabCAD. Modification has been done based on limitation of equipment and raw material. Aluminium 6063 is used as raw material to machine turbine blade. DMU 60 monoBLOCK is used in machining turbine blade and machining program has been done by CATIA V5. In CADCAM software, machining strategies have been used to machine turbine blade are roughing process, multi-axis flank contouring, multi-axis sweeping and isoparametric. After physical machining process, analysis has been done through 3D Scanner and its methodology. Result from 3D Scanner show comparison between CAD model and physical machined part by different type of colour. Blue colour shows overcut while green colour shows undercut. Some recommendations such as smaller and tapered cutting tool has been suggested in part of future work.
