Method and machine equipment for manufacturing of a cutting tool

Method for multistep machining a cutting tool, comprising the steps:

• a) Defining a data set of the cutting tool comprising target geometries of the cutting tool, parameters of materials of the cutting tool and/or parameters of process operations for machining a workpiece into the cutting tool;
• b) Positioning the workpiece in a machining device;
• c) Determining a data set of the positioned workpiece to be machined by a measuring method comprising actual geometries of shape, positional and orientation data of the positioned workpiece;
• d) Defining at least one machining program for the machining device based on the defined data set of the cutting tool in relation to the determined data set of the workpiece;
• e) Subjecting the workpiece to the at least one machining program, thereby obtaining intermediate geometries of the workpiece;
• f) Determining a second data set of the workpiece by measuring means comprising the intermediate geometries of the workpiece;
• g) Transferring the machined workpiece to a second machining device;
• h) Repeating steps b) to g) until the workpiece takes on the shape of the target geometries.
