Publication Abstract

Computer Aided Process Planning (CAPP) provides a link between design and 
manufacturing in a Computer-Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) environment. The Automatic 
Feature Recognition (AFR) plays a significant role in the contribution of Computer Aided 
Design and Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) integration. In this paper, an object 
oriented approach is applied to prepare the part geometric database from a neutral file 
(STEP AP 203) and translates this information to manufacturing knowledge.
