    Additive manufacturing has the potential to save resources in the pro-duction of lightweight aerospace structural components made of Ti-6Al-4V. Cur-rently, these components are milled out of plate-material, resulting in up to 95% of the material being converted into chips that can only be downcycled. However, machining near-net-shape parts poses new challenges. For example, commonly used methods such as the “waterline”-path approach, which uses the residual stiff-ness of the plate-material to reduce the deflection of the thin-walls due to process forces, can no longer be applied. In this paper, a dimensional error compensation method is presented, that measures the deflection of the workpiece during helical end mill finishing using eddy current sensors. The sensor values are used within a control loop to adjust the toolpaths width of cut and inclination in real time to minimize dimensional error. Next to adjusting for different compliant states of the workpiece, this method adjusts for increasing tool wear states, that produce higher process forces and thereby larger dimensional errors. The presented compensation is compared to a conventional machining approach to demonstrate its capability to enable finishing of near-net-shape parts within tight tolerances while maintaining high material removal rates.

    There is a limit to productivity when finish milling thin-walled aerospace structural components. Larger engagement conditions lead to deformation of the workpiece, resulting in a permanent dimensional error that does not meet tight tolerance requirements. In this work, sensor technology is used to record the workpiece deformation in the process and derive tool paths that compensate for the dimensional error.
