Construction and Mechanism Analysis of Digital Collaborative Design Theoretical System for Additive‑Subtractive Integrated Manufacturing
Additive‑subtractive integrated manufacturing combines the advantages of additive manufacturing and subtractive manufacturing. Featuring rapid free‑form forming and high‑precision machining, it represents an important development direction for manufacturing technologies of complex special‑shaped components. Conventional additive and subtractive machining operate independently, suffering from data disconnection and process segmentation. How to give play to the strengths of digital collaborative design, open up the full‑process data links covering design, simulation, process planning, additive forming and finish machining, and improve the technological level of additive‑subtractive hybrid manufacturing has become a critical issue for the development and application of additive‑subtractive integrated‑manufacturing technology. This paper expounds the connotations of additive‑subtractive integrated manufacturing and digital collaborative design, puts forward the theoretical system of digital collaborative design for additive‑subtractive integrated manufacturing, and analyzes the internal mechanism of digital collaborative design in additive‑subtractive integrated manufacturing. Taking lightweight special‑shaped automotive components as the application carrier for case study, it aims to clarify the action path of digital collaboration in additive‑subtractive hybrid forming, and provide theoretical references and practical ideas for the process development of additive‑subtractive integrated manufacturing of complex components and the construction of digital platforms.
