Improving tool wear and surface covering in polishing via toolpath optimization [PDF]
Abstract Polishing operations are commonly carried out manually, thus inducing variability on the surface quality. The aim of this paper is to automate the polishing of free-form surfaces in order to obtain high quality surfaces. Tool wear and toolpath surface covering have a great impact on surface properties.

Postprocessor for Verification of Robot Movements with Additional Axis after Toolpath Optimization
Abstract This paper discusses a postprocessor for milling robots connected to additional linear machine axes where toolpath is optimized with respect to variable properties of the robot in its workspace. A toolpath optimization method is proposed based on an experimentally verifiedrobot stiffness model.

Fixture Optimization in Turning Thin-Wall Components
The turning of thin-walled components is a challenging process due to the flexibility of the parts. On one hand, static deflection due to the cutting forces causes geometrical and dimensional errors, while unstable vibration (i.e., chatter) could ...

Hydrogel Confinement Strategies for 3D Cell Culture in Microfluidic Systems
Hydrogel confinement structures are key to organizing 3D cell cultures in microfluidic devices. This review classifies five structural strategies (micropillar, phaseguide, porous membrane, stepped‐height, and support‐free) and examines their trade‐offs alongside fabrication methods.
