Abstract
The goal of "Clean Manufacturing" (CM) is to eliminate waste, aiming at zero waste. by integrating environmental best practices into the manufacturing process. CM is a continuous preventive strategy, which concentrates on resources and manufacturing processes to eliminate waste. Modelling and Simulation of Burr Formation is one of the main topics in contemporary basic scientific investigations. Using state-of-the-art numerical methods, the process of burr-development can be investigated within 2D-simulations and more and more also for 3D-applications. The most relevant methods applied to burr formation modelling and simulation are accurately reported and discussed in the paper.
