Article Snippet: Fig. 5 Typical Abaqus CAE FEA simulation results for both DSEE and 2-flute design 800 μm tools in regards to the average and maximum deflection Fig. 6 Results of simulation set 1 for both types of tool designs a in relation to deflection and b Von Mises stress, and results of simulation set 2 for both types of tool designs c in relation to deflection and d Von Mises stress The results of the second set of simulation results, i.e., investigation of scaled cutting forces, are presented in Figs. c, d. The purpose of reducing the applied distributed load with tool diameter is to better reflect the real cutting forces for these tool diameters during actual micro-milling and to compare the relative stiffness, rigidity and strength between the two designs over the range of diameters.
