Understanding the challenges in machining thin walled thin floored Avionics components

One of the biggest challenges in Aviation industries is milling part features from prismatic blocks to part features with wall and floor thicknesses very similar to sheet metal assemblies. Much research has gone and is still going into machining processes of thin walled components and near net machining. This paper presents an overview in understanding the importance, criticalities and challenges in machining aluminum monolithic thin wall thin floor avionic parts.
