Process planning for 2 1/2D pocket machining: a review
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Pocket machining is an extensively used end milling operation with wide applications in aircraft and die/mold industries. Though simple in geometry, 2 1/2 D pocket machining has complicated planning issues, evident from the high volume of existing research work. In this paper, the literature addressing 2 1/2 D pocket machining has been reviewed to study the planning tasks and compare the different approaches in their operational planning. The different planning tasks, identified as Tool Selection, Tool Path Generation, and Machining Parameter Selection, involve different sets of process parameters and their individual research issues and considerations have been studied. It is observed that the optimization of each task is mostly treated in isolated fashion although they are linked to each other, through the cut geometry and cutting kinematics. The few attempts have been made to combine them, but in a sequential manner. Moreover, the conversation of the geometry of a 2 1/2 D pocket to the corresponding process related tasks is not unique that introduces discontinuities between the part design and machining process planning phases. Summary of the review of the process planning of 2 1/2 pocket identifies a need for novel framework for integrated process planning, based on the decompisition of the pocket geometry into elemental features with the corresponding planning tasks and simultaneous optimization of all the tasks in a structured manner.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
