Abstract

In this work, knee prosthesis manufacturing process using CO2 cooling is described. It is necessary to use 5 continuous axis milling in order to manufacture this complex geometry. However, surfaces complexity and material (titanium) low machinability characteristics present a challenge for manufacturers. In this case, process operations and machining parameters for this component manufacturing are specified. Besides, virtual verification of machining process is also performed in order to avoid collisions. Moreover, cooling is a key factor in this case regarding medical components cleaning specifications. Traditional coolants are replaced by CO2 cooling.
