A Study of Manufacturing of Inserted-blade Milling Cutter Using CAD/CAM/CNC TECHNOLOGY

This paper presents the application of CAD/CAM/CNC technology to manufacture some kinds of body of milling cutter used on CNC machines. Based on the overview concepts of CAD/CAM/CNC, process of design and programming to manufacture body of milling cutter on Pro/Engineer Wildfire 5.0 software is done. The prototype products have achieved similar result of profile, diameter after installing inserted blade as well as precision of testing cutting process of some samples compared to the standard milling cutter of some famous manufacturers. Products will contribute to replacing some imported cutting tools (such as Mitsubishi, Sandvik Coromant, Ceratizit, Kyocera, Seco...), while reducing the investment cost of cutting tools for manufacturing factories as well as vocational training institution
