摘要：A method and apparatus are provided for total profile machining of a part (10), such as from a block (28) of thermoplastic polymer. A first side of the part (10) is machined together with an encircling recess (34). A registration/potting fixture (40) is placed into the encircling recess (34). The registration/potting fixture (40) is used to evacuate air from the machined side of the part (10) and to pressure pack degassed fluid potting compound (68) against the machined side of the part (10). The registration/potting fixture (40) is cooled such as with a coolant to solidify the potting material (68). Then the registration/potting fixture (40) is used to fixture the block (28) in a new orientation for CNC machining another side of the part (10). Upon removal of the potting material (68) from the part (10), the total profile machined part (10) is freed for shipment to the customer.
