Abstract

The paper presents the 3-phases milling process simulation of a surface of a polystyrene injection mold, by using CATIA software. The cutting regime parameters are computed and are used, together with other data, as inputs for the simulation process. On the basis of milling process simulation, the software generates the manufacturing program for the NC machine tool.
