Manufacturing Specific Information Recapture from Geometric Model Using a Data Interchange Format File

Abstract:

This paper presents a methodology that makes possible the recapture of manufacturing features of using a DXF file. The methodology is illustrated on a prismatic part. CAD/CAPP integration is achieved by Feature Recognizer Interface. Each CAD system has its own database stucture that offers geometric information regarding the parts, hence, the interpretation and change of these are impossible to be done. The methodology presented in this paper shows how geometric model provides the manufacturing information with the help of DXF file.
