  • System and method of manufacturing a structure
    Patent number: 9162276
    Abstract: The system and method of the present application can include machining complex part features in a flat metal sheet, and subsequently forming the machined flat metal sheet to have the desired shape and contours. Prior to the step of machining the complex part features, the method can include calculating a scaled location of the complex part features so that the subsequent forming step acts to translate and deform the complex part features into a desired location.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: October 20, 2015
    Assignee: Bell Helicopter Textron Inc.
    Inventors: Stephen K. Bishop, Stephen S. Swenson, Crystal L. Wilson, Paulette D. Lemond
  • SYSTEM AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A STRUCTURE WITH A HIGH PERFORMANCE METAL ALLOY
    Publication number: 20130094919
    Abstract: The method of the present application includes machining complex part features in a flat metal sheet, and subsequently forming the machined flat metal sheet to have the desired shape and contours. Prior to the step of machining the complex part features, the method includes calculating a scaled location of the complex part features so that the subsequent forming step acts to translate and deform the complex part features into a desired location. The present application further includes a method for machining high performance metal alloy, such as titanium. Further, the present application includes a heated mandrel for applying heat to a high performance metal alloy, such as titanium, during stretch forming.
