A methodology to support robotic polishing of moulds integrated with CAD/CAM (2023)
Journal Article
Wang, K., Ding, L., Dailami, F., & Matthews, J. (in press). A methodology to support robotic polishing of moulds integrated with CAD/CAM. Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Systems, https://doi.org/10.1142/S021968672450015X

Typically, the final process in the manufacture of molds is mechanical polishing, a process predominantly conducted manually. This is an important process step to improve the surface quality of the mold without affecting the geometry of the cavity. C...

A hybrid approach to support robotic polishing process planning (2023)
Book Chapter
Wang, K., Ding, L., Dailami, F., & Matthews, J. (2023). A hybrid approach to support robotic polishing process planning. In Y. X. Gan (Ed.), Research and Developments in Engineering Research Vol. 8 (193-217). B P International (a part of SCIENCEDOMAIN International). https://doi.org/10.9734/bpi/rader/v8/10312f

Currently, mechanical polishing and manual labour are used to complete the finishing stages of the manufacture of moulds. This stage of the procedure is not only the most expensive, but it is also currently experiencing a shortage of experienced peop...

GA-AHP Method to support robotic polishing process planning (2022)
Journal Article
Wang, K., Ding, L., Dailami, F., & Matthews, J. (2022). GA-AHP Method to support robotic polishing process planning. Digital Manufacturing Technology, 2(2), 23-44. https://doi.org/10.37256/dmt.2220221513

The finishing stage of mould manufacturing is generally completed via mechanical polishing, manual conducted. Not only is this the most expensive phase of the process but also is currently struggling with a deficit of skilled workers. To address thes...

Towards collaborative robotic polishing of mould and die sets (2019)
Journal Article
Wang, K., Dailami, F., & Matthews, J. (2019). Towards collaborative robotic polishing of mould and die sets. Procedia Manufacturing, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.promfg.2020.01.137

Dies and moulds are fundamental elements in the manufacturing of a wide variety of products. The surface polishing of dies and moulds with complex features largely relies upon time-consuming manual work of skilled workers and, as a result of the dimi...
