Short summary
Traditional mathematical methods for calculating machining errors before production are often time-consuming. To solve this problem, we developed a data-driven intelligent method that learns from existing data to realize real-time error prediction. Our method achieves over 99 % prediction accuracy and runs significantly faster than conventional approaches, helping factories manufacture high-precision, high-quality parts more efficiently.
