When using traditional subtractive machining method
the tool can not reach somewhere for some complex parts such as engine impellers
blisks. The machining process would be hard. Additive-subtractive hybrid machining method can be used to machine before obstacles formed
which is an effective way to machine complex parts. Therefore
a hybrid manufacturing process planning algorithm should be researched. In order to validate the feasibility of the algorithm
an additive-subtractive-integrated hybrid manufacturing validation platform based on 5+1 axes is built in this paper. A small engraving machine is used as the base of the platform. X
Y
Z are three translational axes and B
C in the cradle platform are rotation axes
which construct the five-axis system. An additional axis controls feeding of 3D printing extruder. A mechanical device is designed
in which a guide mechanism is used to integrate 3D printing extruder and spindle of the engraving machine. Mach3 six-axis CNC system is used to control the movement of each axis. By this way
an additive-subtractiveintegrated hybrid manufacturing process can be realized.
