مستخلص المنشور

The computer aided design/ computer aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) linkage has greatly shortened the period between design and manufacture and has greatly expanded the scope of production processes. In this paper, a computer aided process planning/ computer aided fixture design/ computer aided inspection planning (CAPP/CAFD/CAIP) system is proposed for CAD/CAM integration. The object oriented approach is applied for integration and automation of CAPP/CAFD/CAIP modules. The proposed system is suitable for 3-D manufacturing parts that are created by using a solid modeling package. The STEP AP 203 E2 is used as input to the integrated system. The CAPP module contains data extraction, feature recognition and process planning files. The setup plans are created separately for CAFD and CAIP. The modular fixture design is established from the manufacturing setup plan using search strategy and graphical database. The CAIP module then produced inspection plan and Dimensional Measuring Interface Standard (DMIS) code for coordinate measuring machine (CMM). A case study is presented to illustrate the developed methodology.
