Carbon fiber-reinforced composite material (CFRP) has been widely applied in the aerospace industry, which places demanding requirements on the accuracy and quality of its processing. However, there remains a lack of clarity on the microscopic material removal process of CFRP, despite substantial relevant research. This paper aims to reveal the mechanism of material removal in the CFRP cutting process at different fiber cutting angles and to establish an analytical model for CFRP cutting force by considering the radius of the edge circle. Furthermore, the CFRP cutting force analytical model was established by considering the radius of the edge circle on the basis of the CFRP representative volume unit (RVE). According to the model, the cutting process was divided into three regions, the cutting slip zone, fiber fracture zone, and spring back zone, with consideration given to the effect of residual fibers on the cutter teeth. The CFRP cutting finite element model was defined using the software Abaqus, while the chip removal and single-fiber deformation processes were analyzed using the finite element model. As indicated by the experimental results, the analytical model is reliable and capable of providing cutting force values within a 15% deviation.

In addition to the traditional uses of plywood, such as furniture and construction, it is also widely used in areas that benefit from its special combination of strength and lightness, particularly as a construction material for the production of finishing elements of campervans and yachts. In light of the current need to reduce emissions of climate-damaging gases such as CO, the use of lightweight construction materials is very important. In recent years, hybrid structures made of carbon fibre-reinforced plastics (CFRPs) and metals have attracted much attention in many industries.

The milling force plays a pivotal role in CFRP milling. Modeling of the milling force is helpful to explore the changing law, optimize the processing parameters, and then reduce the appearance of defects. However, most of the existing models ignore the effect of the bottom edge.

Article Synopsis
- Carbon fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRP) are strong and lightweight materials, but their processing generates harmful fibrous debris and fine particles.
- A study in a Japanese factory used advanced monitoring devices to assess particle generation and worker exposure during CFRP processing operations like cutting and grinding.
- Results showed that the wearable P-sensor effectively detected smaller particles, and implementing better exhaust practices significantly reduced worker exposure to micro/nano particles.

This work presents an experimental analysis related to 3D-printed carbon-fiber-reinforced-polymer (CFRP) machining. A polyethylene-terephthalate-glycol (PETG)-based composite, reinforced with 20% carbon fibers, was selected as the test material. The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of cutting conditions used in light operations on the generated surface quality of the 3D-printed specimens.

Conventional dry machining (without process media) of carbon fibre composite materials (CFRP) produces tiny chips/dust particles that float in the air and cause health hazards to the machining operator. The present study investigates the effect of cutting conditions (cutting speed, feed per tooth and depth of cut) during CFRP milling on the size, shape and amount of harmful dust particles. For the present study, one type of cutting tool (CVD diamond-coated carbide) was used directly for machining CFRP.
