Fast, safe and effective trimming of CFRP parts involves a number of challenges. The goal is a cutting edge without burrs and requiring no reworking. Of course, process time becomes increasingly important with increasing part and series sizes. Delamination due to point temperature spikes must also be prevented.

Constant cutting conditions that can only be achieved with smooth tool movements are required. The exact CAD specifications must be simply and deliberately deviated from for reasons including this. Corrections can also be necessary to adapt tolerances.

With the practical example of a CFRP wing shell measuring approx. 2000 x 2500 mm, this webinar shows how to trim CFRP parts with the right combination of CAD/CAM strategies, machine and tool.

• Automatically generating the trimming program from CAD
• Safety with digital twins
• Machine dynamics and surface finish
• Compensating for expansion coefficients of steel and CFRP
• Tool selection strategies
• Optimized tool geometries for CFRP primary structures
• Qualified drilling with the highest dimensional accuracy
• Technical synergy effects: Software, machine and tools
• Expert session, collaboration and knowledge transfer
