The Consortium on Deburring and Edge Finishing (CODEF)
CODEF was established to address problems related
to prediction and modeling of burr and edge breakout phenomena, development
of a data base (or knowledge base) of best burr avoidance and removal
techniques from industry, development of a computer aided design (CAD)
advisor (a burr expert) for designers and process planners, development
of strategies for deburring cell level process feedback and control
and identification and development of advanced deburring technologies.
Although all manufacturing processes are of interest in this program,
of special interest is those processes for precision manufacturing.
The program also provides a forum for the discussion of standards and
terminology associated with the field.
