In recent years, various researchers have come up with different ways and means to
integrate CAD and CAM. Automatic feature recognition from a CAD solid model, for …

In a continuing quest to decrease the time interval between conceptualisation of a product
and its first production, the use of information technology in design, analysis and …

The field of solid modeling has developed a variety of techniques for unambiguous
representations of three-dimensional objects. Feature recognition is a sub-discipline of solid …

Discusses an automatic feature recognizer that decomposes the total volume to be
machined into volumetric features that satisfy stringent conditions for manufacturability, and …

The purpose of the book is to develop a generative theory of shape that has two properties
regarded as fundamental to intelligence-maximizing transfer of structure and maximizing …

Automated process planning (APP) has received a considerable amount of attention in
recent years. This has mainly been due to APP allowing for the bridging of the gap between …

A method has been developed that decomposes a curved object into volumes, called
maximal volumes, with the half-spaces of the object. A maximal volume has as few concave …

The ability to quickly introduce new quality products is a decisive factor in capturing market
share. Because of pressing demands to reduce leadtimes, analysing the manufacturability of …

The CAD models of real-world mechanical parts usually have many fillets and rounds that
are essentially important to ensure the manufacturability and assembability. In feature-based …

This paper presents current research perspectives on Computer Aided Process Planning
(CAPP) and it covers articles and other related publications that appeared especially in the …
