Bachelor-/Master Thesis: Optimization of CAM Planning for Efficient Milling with Barrel Tools(m/w/x)

City: Aachen Date: May 7, 2025 # Bachelor-/ Master Thesis: »Optimization of CAM Planning for Efficient Milling with Barrel Tools« As part of your thesis, you will investigate how forces during the milling of thin-walled workpieces with barrel tools can be reliably predicted and compensated to ensure efficient CAM planning. This will include machining trials, data acquisition and analysis. **What you will do** * Conduct machining trials to determine relevant parameters for force modeling * Simulate machining forces using an existing modelling framework * Create an optimized CAM plan utilizing predicted forces **What you bring to the table** * You are studying mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, physics or a comparable subject area * Basic knowledge of machining, force modeling, and technical mechanics is an advantage * Ideally initial experience with CAM planning software (e.g. Rhino 3D or NX) * Good language skills in German and/or English **What you can expect** * Professional supervision and collaboration within a dedicated team * Becoming an integral part of the team from the very beginning, with the opportunity to contribute your ideas * Involvement in innovative research and development projects with renowned industrial partners * Access to state-of-the-art machinery equipped with extensive measurement technology We value and promote the diversity of our employees' skills and therefore welcome all applications - regardless of age, gender, nationality, ethnic and social origin, religion, ideology, disability, sexual orientation and identity. Severely disabled persons are given preference in the event of equal suitability. **Job Segment:** R&D Engineer, Research Assistant, Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineer, R&D, Engineering, Research
