This paper describes an integrated CAD and CAPP system for prismatic parts of injection mold which generates a complete process plan automatically from CAD data of a part without human intervention. This system employs Auto CAD as a CAD model and GS-CAPP as an automatic process planning system for injection mold. The proposed CAD/CAPP system consists of three modules such as CAD data conversion module, manufacturing feature recognition module, and CAD/CAPP interface module. CAD data conversion module transforms design data of AutoCAD into three dimensional part data. Manufacturing feature recognition module extracts specific manufacturing features of a part using feature recognition rule base. Each feature can be recognized by combining geometry, position and size of the feature. CAD/CAPP interface module links manufacturing feature codes and other head data to automatic process planning system. The CAD/CAPP system can improve the efficiency of process planning activities and reduce the time required for process planning. This system can provide a basis for the development of part feature based design by analyzing manufacturing features.

The integrated design system for injection molding has been studied. The current CAD system do not provide mold designers with necessary function for CAD/CAPP/CAE interface except the geometric modeling capability. This paper describes a feature-based CAD system for mold and moldbase design which enables the concurrent design and CIM, with integrated design procedure, at the initial design stage of injection molding A new design methodology and resulting feature data files for this design system are also discussed.

Research that reconstructs a 3D model from a freehand 2D sketch has gained attention since 1990s, when data integration in the CAD/CAPP/CAM/CNC chain was an important issue. However, 2D sketches in the conceptual design phase have not been integrated with the downstream CAD/CAPP/CAM/CNC chain. In this paper, we present a method to interface a freehand sketch modeling to commercial CAD systems by mapping a sketch modeling history to the macro parametric history. We use an extended ISO10303-112 standard to represent the modeling history in a gestural modeling system and translate sketch files to neutral macro files. Macro parametric translators are used to translate netural macro files to commercial CAD files.

This paper deals with the development of an expert process design system interfaced with CAD for porismatic parts in injection mold manufacture. The developed CAD/CAPP system consists of two modules such as CAD interface module and process design module. Parts are represented using AutoCAD system on the IBM PC/AT. CAD interface module recognizes form features and manufacturing features of the part using form feature recognition algorithm and manufacturing feature recognition rule base. Process design module selects operations and determines machine tools, cutting tools and operation sequencing by using knowledge base which is acquired from expert process planners. A case study is implemented to evaluate feasibilities of the function of the proposed system. The CAD/CAPP system can improve the efficiency of process design activities and reduce the time required for process design.

This paper presents an automatic feature recognition system for recognizing and extracting feature information needed for the process planning input from a 3D CAD system. A given part is modeled by using the AutoCAD and feature information is automatically extracted from the AutoCAD database. The type of parts considered in this study is prismatic parts composed of faces perpendicular to the X, Y, Z axes and the types of features recognized by the proposed system are through steps, blind steps, through slots, blind slots, and pockets. Features are recognized by using the concept of convex points and concave points. Case studies are implemented to evaluate feasibilities of the function of the proposed system. The developed system is programmed by using Turbo Pascal on the IBM PC/AT on which the AutoCAD and the proposed system are implemented.

This paper presents a CAD interface system that imports CAD model data and exports input information to a CAPP(Compute Aided Process Planning) system to generate a sequence for block assembly operations. In developing this system we use an open architecture CAD kernel, OpenCASCASE. The functions of the system developed are visualization of the product, definition of relations between parts, and generation of relation graph and input file for CAPP. The functions are demonstrated with a simple example.

제품의 개발 및 생산 과정에는 설계, 해석, 가공, 검사 등의 많은 부문이 서로 밀접하게 연계되어 있고 각 부문 간에는 각기 서로 다른 형태의 정보를 필요로 하기 때문에 이들의 유기적인 통합을 위해서는 각각의 응용 분야에서 요구되는 다양한 정보가 효과적으로 제공될 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 특징형상을 이용하여 설계 기능과 다른 응용 부분을 유기적으로 연계할 수 있는 알고리즘을 제시한다. ISO에서 진행 중인 STEP의 Form Feature을 기준으로 일반적인 분류를 하고 이를 기초로 특징형상을 인식하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 B-Rep 데이터로부터 Face-Edge Graph를 구성하고 다중 절점(Cut Node)을 인식하였으며, 본 연구를 바탕으로 하여 향후 몇 가지 단점을 보완하고 대상 영역을 확대시켜 감으로써 Computer-aided Design 시스템으로부터 얻어지는 3차원 형상 데이터로부터 Computer-aided Process Plan을 위해 필요한 특징형상을 컴퓨터에 의해 자동으로 추출하기 위한 발판을 구축할 수 있을 것이다.

Presented in this study is an algorithmic procedure to obtain polyhedral model from a compound surface. The compound surface in this study denotes a collection of trimmed surfaces without topological relations. The procedure consists of two main modules: CAD data interface, and surface conversion to polyhedral model. The interface module gets geometric information from CAD databases, and makes topological information by scanning the geometric information. We are investigating CATIA system as a data source system. In the surface conversion module, a shell(compound surface with topological information) is approximated to a triangular-faceted polyhedral surface model through node sampling and triangulation steps. The obtained polyhedral model should obey the vertex-to-vertex rule and meet tolerance requirements. Since the polyhedral model has a simple data structure and geometry processing for it is very efficient and robust, the polyhedral model can be used in various applications, such as surface rendering in computer graphics, FEM model for engineering analysis, CAPP for surface machining, data generation for SLA, and NC tool path generation.

The role of product model in CIM environemt(where such heterogenous application programs as CAD, CAE, CAM, Database, and Expert Systems are included) is system integration. Product model manages all the information related to manufacuring activities. This information includes shapes, operation, process, scheduling, quality, and mangement. Product model architecture includes product model kernel, object schema, model manipulation language, and user interface. Objects to be shared are defined using the model manipulation luage and the defintions are saved in the object schema. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of a prototype. In this prototype, application programs for CAPP(Computer Aided Process Planning) are used.
