Abstract. Turning slender components is a critical task since workpiece flexibility entails relevant deformations during the process, leading to potential loss of accuracy, lower machining efficiency and higher manufacturing costs. The DRITTO project aims at developing an easy-to-use digital solution to support manufacturing of flexible axisymmetric components. The proposed support system, starting from the not-optimized toolpath, stock geometry and tool parameters, it will compute the optimized toolpath by integrating three different modules: a) workpiece FE modelling, b) turning process modelling, c) toolpath optimization. The project is ongoing, but, at the current stage, preliminary validation of the proposed solution has been carried out. DRITTO is funded as an experiment of DIH-World Horizon2020 project, and the consortium is composed by the machining services SME Meccanica Ceccarelli & Rossi and the University of Florence as part of the Digital Innovation Hub ARTES4.0.
