Abstract

Although some successful recognition algorithms have been developed, most of them did emphasize on extracting accurate interpretations without considerations of manufacturability. Evaluating the manufacturability for multiple features leads to produce the machining sequences. In this paper, the A* algorithm guarantees the optimal setup sequences with minimizing the machining cost. Also, tolerances including surface roughness are converted to STEP formats to be utilized for more reliable process plans. Finally, decision tables are used to create the detailed operational sequences based on geometric tolerances and surface roughness. Machining parameters such as feed, depth of cut, and cutting speed for each operation are added to the routing sheet. Windows are presented to show how the entire system works for a sample part.
