Abrasive Water Injector Jet Cutting (AWIJC) is a flexible machining process for manufacturing high-performance materials, such as titan- and nickel-base-alloys. Due to the low ductility and thermal conductivity of these materials, conventional machining is struggling with high tool costs and wear. The tool wear in AWIJC is independent of the machined material, and the process has the potential to provide a cost-efficient solution in machining high-performance materials. Trimming, a near-net-shape pre-contouring with multi-stage AWIJC, requires a detailed knowledge of cutting paths for all steps in advance. In order to enable a geometrical flexible manufacturing process, an automatically cutting path generation is necessary. This article presents an application developed with NX Open using Visual Basic. The application TrimCAD is able to provide all necessary geometries for trimming based on the geometries of initial and finished parts. Furthermore, it is possible to adjust the number of cuts and the degree of pre-contouring. All geometries are automatically exported as a standardized three-dimensional STEP-file. The STEP-geometries can be processed to the CAM-processor of the waterjet machine. TrimCAD is an innovative possibility to machine three-dimensional parts made of high-performance materials.
