본 논문에서는 상용화된 이 기종 CAD/CAM 시스템간의 CAD 데이타 교환기능을 가지는 IGES Translator 시스템의 구조를 제안한다. 제품생산의 여러 단계에서 CAD/CAM의 사용이 보편화되어감에 따라 상용 CAD/CAM 시스템들은 응용분야에 맞는 특수한 도구로 사용되는 경향이 생겨났다. 예를 들어, ALIAS는 주로 스타일링 디자인에, I-DEAS와 PRO/ENGINEER는 엔지니어링 디자인에, EUCLID는 금형 디자인에, 그리고 OMEGA와 Z-MASTER는 NC 공구경로생성에 주로 사용되고 있다. CAD 데이타 교환을 위해 제안된 중립파일형식(Neutral File Format)중에서, IGES(Initial Graphics Exchange Specification)는 대부분의 상용 CAD/CAM 시스템에서 지원을 하고 있으며 가장 널리 쓰이는 파일형식이다. 그런데, IGES를 통한 CAD 데이타 교환은 다음과 같은 문제점들을 가지고 있다. 즉, patch의 사라짐, 경계곡선의 왜곡, patch의 overlap 또는 gap, trimming error, 곡면각의 꺾임각도 등이 그것이다. 이 논문의 목적은 이러한 문제점들을 해결할 수 있는 범용 IGES Translator를 개발하는데 있다. 이 논문의 주요한 기여 내용은 다음과 같다. 1) 주요 상용 CAD/CAM 시스템의 IGES Interface 기능의 비교 분석, 2) 주요 상용 IGES Translator의 기능 분석, 3) 사용자의 기능적 요구사항의 분석, 4) 사용자 관점 및 시스템 관점에서의 IGES Translator의 구조 제안, 5) Prototype IGES Translator의 개발 및 테스트 결과 제시.

This paper deals with effective using the IGES file for flexible data exchange among the other CAD/CAM system. If a data exchange between STL file and the neutral IGES file in Stereolithography system is available, a product design becomes more flexible. THere can be many restrictions and difficulties intranslating these data. First, an STL file follows two rules, such as right-hand rule, and vertex-to-vertex rule, thus requires a structural verification. Second, translation should be performed with minmal errors. It becomes very important to translate IGES file of limited kinds of entities fot the purpose of geometric information into STL file with minor data manipulation. The developed system suggests a good approach of translating the sampled B-spline surface of IGES and shows a potential linkage between IGES and STL format file.

This research explains visualization of diagnostic system of 3D CAD data, IGES (Initial Graphics Exchange Specification), by using JNI(Java Native Interface) to connect between C++ and Java programming. The diagnostic system is to analyze IGES clearly by identifying errors and anomalies with respect to the diagnosis of geometry and topology of entities. The output of the system is IGES file including . error information which can be visualized with different colors by several commercial visualization systems. The paper focuses on the visualization of the result IGES which can be extended to web based application over internet.

IGES is a file format which has gained widespread use but has certain limitations such as limited information coverage and ambiguous definitions. In order to overcome the limitations of existing neutral file formats, STEP has been developed as a more comprehensive mechanism for product data exchange by ISO. This paper describes a file translation system between IGES and STEP. In this system, three EXPRESS schemata are defined for IGES, STEP and the translation relationship between IGES and STEP. Object codes are generated from the schemata and linked with file access libraries to IGES and STEP files. The translation was verified by visualization and reverse translation. The system developed in this study can easily applied to translate other file formats because the file structure and translation relationship are defined in EXPRESS - a high level information modeling language.

A diagnostic system has been developed which reports modeling errors generated when exchanging CAD data using IGES (Initial Graphics Exchange Specification) format. The system determines whether the CAD data contains errors. It also helps to define the criteria for determining the integrity and interoperability of CAD data with downstream applications of another CAD/CAM/CAE/PDM systems. The methodology of our algorithms is to analyze IGES model data by identifying errors and anomalies with respect to the diagnosis of geometry and topology. The GUI (Graphic User Interface) of the developed system helps users to input values and to visualize diagnostic results at real time.

Burr is an unavoidable and undesirable by-product of most metal cutting or shearing operations. This burr must be removed to improve the fit of machined parts and safety of workers, to improve the effectiveness of finishing operations. Despite the full or partial automation of FMC or FMS, deburring operations to obtain workpiece with fine surface quality are difficult to be automated since the occurrence and condition of burr are not constant. This study focused on developing a software for deburring automation, which includes automatic recognition of parts, generation of deburring tool path and NC code, by analyzing the IGES format file which contains information of part geometry. The successful performance of developed software was demonstrated by computer simulation and deburring experiment using miniature end brush. And, this research can provide a basis for further advanced studies for automated deburring applications.

In this paper, a method for recognizing 3-D objects using the 3-D Hough transform and the robust stereo vision is studied. A 3-D object is recognized through two steps; modeling step and matching step. In modeling step, features of the object are extracted by analyzing the IGES file. In matching step, the values of the sensed image are compared with those of the IGES file which is assumed to location and orientation in the 3-D Hough transform domain. Since we use the 3-D Hough transform domain of the input image directly, the sensitivity to the noise and the high computational complexity could be significantly allcv~ated. Also, the cost efficiency is improved using the robust stereo vision for obtaining depth map image which is needed for 3-D Hough transform. In order lo verify the proposed method, real telephone model is recognized. Thc results of the location and orientation of the model are presented.

In this study surface modeling .method with 3D curve net is proposed. For surface modeling, ship hull was divided into several parts, Generated surface was loaded general purpose CAD program through IGES file format, and the quality of generated surface model was checked by CATIA's internal function. Lastly it is tried to find a method for improving the accuracy of surface connection by using the blending method in CATIA and the result was discussed.

In ship building industry, CNC and CAM are mostly applied to NC cutting and manufacturing of propeller and prototype ship model. Herein, prototype ship model is producted by CAD/CAM process. Hull form data is obtained from the ship drawing and used for 3D modeling by CAD software Pro/Engineer. CAD data is transferred into CAM s/w SPEEDplus to perform CNC process and the prototype small ship model is manufactured by CNC machine. To solve data transfer among different systems. IGES and STEP neutral formats are currently used. Herein IGES format is adopted for data transfer between CAD/CAM softwares.
