Abstract
The invention relates to a device as well as a method for manufacturing three-dimensional component parts wherein machining is carried out at least partially. In accordance with the object, such three-dimensional component parts are allowed to be manufactured in a cost-effective manner with most different contours or contour elements simultaneously with increased manufacturing accuracy. The device according to the invention is then configured such that directly in a machine tool a mold being open towards at least one machining tool is supportedly arranged in a chuck. Thus, machining of a material cured in the mold can be carried out without demolding in the meantime.
Claims4
A method for manufacturing three dimensional component parts in a machine tool for manufacturing three dimensional component parts by machining, comprising:
- arranging and supporting a mold in the machine tool in a chucked manner, wherein the mold is open at least on one side such that a casting provided as a semi-finished product and being contained in the mold can be machined;
- casting by filling a cavity of the mold with a liquid melt in order to manufacture a casting, wherein the chucking is maintained during the casting process and wherein the casting process is carried out directly in the machine tool;
- machining, after curing the liquid melt of the material employed for casting, the casting directly inside the mold so that rechecking is not required;
- and
- subsequently demolding the machined casting.
