Integrated CAD/CAM Approach for Parametric Design and High-Precision Microfabrication of Planar Functional Structures Comprising Radially Oriented V-Grooves
Bibliographic record
Abstract
High-precision microfabrication is essential for enhancing or enabling new functionalities in parts and tooling surfaces. V-groove structures are commonly used in surface engineering for diverse applications. Selecting the optimal V-groove shape, array, and fabrication method is crucial for achieving the desired performance. This study integrates the parametric definition of V-groove structures in both design and fabrication modules using three main function blocks (MFBs). MFB1 defines a single V-groove’s parametric model using specific input parameters. MFB2 transforms these parameters into equations to generate a CAD model of the surface. MFB3 combines inputs from MFB1 with parameters related to cutting tool geometry, cutting strategy, and process planning, producing functional NC code for the machine tool. The approach focuses on micromachining radial V-grooves on planar surfaces, requiring precise alignment and multi-axis single-point diamond cutting (SPDC) with rotation tool center point (RTCP) support. Testing on acrylic samples achieved ±0.1° orientation accuracy and ±2 μm positional accuracy, demonstrating potential for applications in drag reduction, fouling resistance, light guiding, and open microfluidics.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
