Diseño de una máquina de micro mecanizado electroquímico especializado en corte de metales usados en la industria biomédica

Abstract

This project exposes the development of the design of a machine for electrochemical machining for the biomedical industry in Colombia. Through the implementation of the design methodology, the functional needs of the team are identified, which are reflected in a conceptual design that, in addition to a quality house matrix, allow the realization of a detailed design on which the pertinent calculations were made that allowed the correct selection of components, resulting in the development of a team that fully complies with the determined requirements, whose design allows its future manufacture to be part of the USTA Mechanical Engineering faculty. Unconventional processes today are a modern technology that has the ability to detach, cut, form and develop highly complex parts in almost any type of material. This project shows and studies the design of an electrochemical micromachining machine which is based on the investigation of multiple articles and machine designs related to the subject, in order to create a machine suitable for the needs of the biomedical industry in Colombia. The result of the present study demonstrates the feasibility of the design of the electrochemical machine and an optimal working behavior.
