Preparation of production of block-modular milling cutters using 3D prototyping

The article describes the main structural elements and the scheme of forming block - modular milling cutters, analyzes the forms of body modules and chip - removing grooves, as well as the methods of manufacturing milling cutters. The technological route of 3D printing of blocks of tool and body modules and the technological scheme of assembling milling cutters are presented. There is an assessment of the compliance of the parameters of the accuracy of the dimensions of the models of milling cutters specified in the drawing, and recommendations for the use of plastic materials for the production of models of milling cutters.
