Abstract
Process planning is one of the key activities for product design and manufacturing. Impact of process plans on all phases of product design and manufacture requires high level of interaction of different activities and tight integration of them into coherent system. In this paper, an object-oriented knowledge representation approach is presented with module for parts modeling and module for generation of process plan. Description of machining process entities and their relationships with features, machines and tools are provided. The benefits of the proposed representation, which include connection with geometric model, reduced search space and alternative plan generation, are discussed. These new contributions provide for a new generation of computer aided process planning (CAPP) systems that can be adapted for various manufacturing systems and can be integrated with other computer integrated manufacturing (CIM) modules.
