This paper presents the development of an interactive knowledge-based CAM system for design-ing and manufacturing the mold. The system is composed of two functional parts. One is the geo-metric modeller that uses the feature-based models. The models include base plate step, hole, pocket, boss and slot, These are designed by interactive user interface. The other is the expert sys-tem module with inference engine and knowledge database of workpiece material tools manufac-turing machines process an working conditions. With two parts the final mold shape is generated with manufacturing information for effective production.
