description With the continuous improvement of the performance of modern aerospace aircraft, the overall strength and lightweight control of aircraft has become a significant feature of modern aerospace parts. With the wide application of thin-walled parts, the requirements for dimensional accuracy and surface quality of workpieces are increasing. In this paper, a numerical model for predicting surface topography of thin-walled parts after elastic deformation is proposed. In view of the geometric characteristics in the cutting process, the cutting force model of thin-walled parts is established, and the meshing relationship between the tool and the workpiece is studied. In addition, the influence of workpiece deformation is considered based on the beam deformation model. Cutting force is calculated based on deformed cutting thickness, and the next cutting–meshing relationship is predicted. The model combines the radial deflection of the workpiece in the feed direction and the changing meshing relationship of the tool–workpiece to determine the three-dimensional topography of the workpiece. The error range between the experimental and the simulation results of surface roughness is 7.45–13.09%, so the simulation three-dimensional morphology has good similarity. The surface topography prediction model provides a fast solution for surface quality control in the thin-walled parts’ milling process.
