Abstract

This paper presents a technique that allows for the fabrication of complex shapes to high accuracy without the expense of conventional machining. The savings associated with using this new approach over conventional fabrication methods directly resulted in an 85% reduction in fabrication costs. This technique was demonstrated in the fabrication of supersonic inlets for a ramjet engine missile. A single computer aided design (CAD) model was used for design and hardware integration, generation of the rapid prototyping computer file for producing a mandrel, finite element modeling of the inlet, development of the final machining tool paths and inspection of the mandrels and finished inlets. The development of this integrated single master model and stereolithography plating process is a major step forward in the area of missile component prototyping and frees the designer to approach component design and fabrication with a new, accurate and relatively inexpensive tool. The savings realized from the use of this technique are directly applicable to the manufacturing of other complex-shaped components both for military and commercial applications.
低成本超音速导弹进气道制造技术
本文提出了一种技术,允许制造复杂形状的高精度,而不需要传统加工的费用。与传统制造方法相比,使用这种新方法直接节省了85%的制造成本。该技术在冲压发动机导弹超音速进气道的制造中得到了验证。采用单个计算机辅助设计(CAD)模型进行设计和硬件集成,生成用于芯轴生产的快速原型计算机文件,对进气道进行有限元建模,制定最终加工刀具路径,并对芯轴和成品进气道进行检查。这种集成的单一主模型和立体光刻镀工艺的发展是导弹部件原型设计领域向前迈出的重要一步,使设计师能够用一种新的、精确的和相对便宜的工具来进行部件设计和制造。使用这种技术所节省的成本直接适用于军事和商业用途的其他复杂形状部件的制造。
