This work deals with the effect of the cutting conditions and the spindle tilt on the surface roughness when grinding complex shaped surfaces of Maraging steel MS1 on an ANCA MX7 5-axis tool grinding machine. It is necessary to grind complex shaped surfaces where high surface quality is important and requested. For this experiment was selected a component with a complex shaped surface which was printed on the 3D printer machine from maraging steel MS1. Since grinding of complex surfaces is being investigated, it is necessary to use CAM software for creat-ing an NC program. The aim of this work is to study the effects of the cutting conditions on the grinding of a com-plex shaped surface in relation to the resulting surface roughness. To do this, it was necessary to design an experi-ment with the appropriate grinding technology, create a clamp, and create NC data in NX CAM software for grinding the complex shape surfaces on the part.
