Основы инженерии Основные услуги
Три специализированные инженерные дисциплины, превращающие сложные титановые конструкции в технологичные, оптимизированные по стоимости производственные программы.
Анализ DFM для титана
Аудит технологичности конструкции (DFM) с учетом уникального металлургического поведения титана — низкой теплопроводности, высокой скорости наклепа и упругого пружинения. Каждый элемент оценивается на предмет ограничений обрабатываемости, специфичных для титана, до начала производства.
Передовые CAD/CAM и многоосевое моделирование
Full in-house CAD/CAM capability using Mastercam and HyperMILL for simultaneous 5-axis toolpath programming. Every program is validated through full-machine digital twin simulation — collision-free, gauge-free, and cycle-time-optimized before any titanium is cut.
Инжиниринг стоимости и сотрудничество по снижению затрат
Systematic cost optimization without compromising functional performance. From raw material form selection (plate vs near-net forgings) to process consolidation, we partner with your procurement team to reduce total landed cost per part.

Standard vs. BOZE Engineered Approach
Quantifiable evidence of how our front-end engineering transforms conventional machining into precision-optimized, cost-efficient production.
| Engineering Dimension | Standard Machining Approach | BOZE Engineered & Simulated Approach |
|---|---|---|
| Стратегия траектории инструмента | Обычное линейное резание (высокая концентрация тепла) | Трохоидальные и адаптивные траектории (низкое тепловыделение) |
| Контроль геометрии тонкостенных деталей | Высокий риск деформации (типично ±0,05 мм) | Сбалансированное динамическое фрезерование (выдерживает до ±0,01 мм) |
| Нарезание резьбы метчиком в Ti-6Al-4V | Высокая частота поломок метчиков (частая смена инструмента) | Фрезерование резьбы с помощью специализированных жестких циклов ЧПУ (нулевая поломка) |
| Выход годного / Качество с первого прохода | Зависит от квалификации оператора (типично 85–92%) | Контролируется с помощью 100% симуляции цифрового двойника (> 98% с первого прохода) |
| Стабильность качества поверхности | Ra 1,6–3,2 мкм (зависит от траектории) | Ra 0,4–0,8 мкм (прогнозируется и верифицируется через CAM) |
| Material Buy-to-Fly Ratio | 4:1 – 6:1 (стандартное размещение) | < 3:1 (оптимизированное размещение + выбор формы) |
Engineer-to-Engineer Technical Q&A
Engineer-to-Engineer technical Q&A addressing the most common engineering concerns when transitioning titanium components to production.
How to reduce stress concentration in thin-walled Grade 5 titanium aerospace components?
Our engineering team applies three primary strategies. First, we increase fillet radii at all internal intersections to minimum R 1.5 mm to reduce Kt (stress concentration factor) below 1.5. Second, we replace sharp edge transitions with blended tangent arcs using 5-axis toolpath smoothing. Third, we specify low-stress grinding (LSG) or chemical milling for final surface removal of the alpha-case layer (0.05–0.10 mm) that forms during solution heat treatment of Ti-6Al-4V, eliminating micro-crack initiation sites.
What is included in a standard DFM review for titanium CNC parts?
A comprehensive DFM review covers six dimensions: (1) Material selection — verifying grade choice against functional requirements; (2) Feature machinability — assessing wall thickness, corner radii, depth-to-diameter ratios, and thread specifications for titanium-specific limitations; (3) Tolerance stack analysis — evaluating cumulative dimensional effects across multi-feature parts using Monte Carlo simulation; (4) Tool access — confirming all features are reachable with standard tool lengths and extensions; (5) Fixturing strategy — recommending workholding approach (vise, tombstone, vacuum chuck, or custom fixture) based on part geometry and rigidity; (6) Cost optimization — identifying opportunities to reduce cycle time through feature consolidation or tolerance relaxation.
How can BOZE engineering reduce cycle times for existing titanium production programs?
Our value engineering team conducts a systematic cycle time analysis across four dimensions: Toolpath optimization — converting conventional roughing to adaptive clearing with high-feed mills, reducing roughing time by up to 40%; Process consolidation — combining milling, drilling, and tapping operations on multi-tasking mill-turn platforms, eliminating secondary setups; Cutting tool selection — selecting grade-specific carbide inserts with optimized chip-breaker geometries for titanium; and Workholding efficiency — reducing part loading/unloading time through quick-change pallet systems. Typical first-pass cycle time reduction: 15–25% without capital equipment investment.
Which CAD/CAM software platforms does BOZE engineering support?
Our engineering team works with all major CAD/CAM platforms. We accept native files from SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, and PTC Creo, and neutral formats including STEP, IGES, and Parasolid. For CAM programming, we use Mastercam (5-axis simultaneous, mill-turn, and wire EDM modules) and Siemens NX CAM for complex freeform surface machining. All toolpaths are validated through full-machine digital twin simulation with collision detection, spindle load monitoring, and surface finish prediction before production release.
