چکیده
Volume 4, Issue 3, May – June 2015 Page 106 ABESTRACT In recent years, various researchers have come up with different ways and means to integrate CAD (Computer Aided Design) and CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing). The selection of machining parameters is an important process planning function for manufacturing processes.Typically, machining parameter selection is done manually. The user still needs to manually create the machining operations and define geometry, cutting tool, and various parameters for each operation. Design data from a CAD model cannot be directly used in a CAPP (Computer Aided Process Planning) system due to the difficulties arising from different feature viewpoints in each application and in various feature representations. To create a process-planning model automatically using machine features, feature mapping or conversion is the key issue to solve this problem.

Topological model for machining of parts with complex shapes
Complex shapes are widely used to design products in several industries such as aeronautics, automotive and domestic appliances. Several variations of their curvatures and orientations generate difficulties during their manufacturing or the machining of dies used in moulding, injection and forging. Analysis of several parts highlights two levels of difficulties between three types of shapes: pr...

Machining features recognition provides the necessary platform for the computer aided process planning (CAPP) and plays a key role in the integration of computer aided design (CAD) and computer aided manufacturing (CAM). This paper presents a new methodology for extracting features from the geometrical data of the CAD Model present in the form of Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) files. ...

A Commercial mechanical CAD/CAM packages provide a rather low level of automation of process planning tasks and a weak connection between their CAD and CAM/NC part programming modules. Features have primarily been used as geometry construction 'macros' without fully realizing their potential in supporting downstream applications, such as process planning. This paper demonstrates the useof featu...

This paper presents two concurrent engineering tools for serving in process planning. The ®rst one, as``design for manufacturing'' utility, evaluates critical interactions between several types of machining features (i.e., holes, pockets, etc.) on prismatic parts, and modi®es original design (if possible) and re¯ects the modi®cations to all down-and upstream stations in CAD/CAM integration.
