Research on CAD/CAM Integration Methods Based on the STL Model
Abstract
At present, data exchange between different CAD/CAM systems becomes an increasingly large issue for engineers and other technical personnel in enterprises. In this paper, in order to enable better integration of CAD/CAM systems applications, we put forward the CAD/CAM integration methods which are based on the STL model. The STL model is a generic interface for the current popular CAD/CAM systems; by means of analysis with the STL model, the integration methods for CAD/CAM have been accomplished, But also, the methods have been verified through examples that show that these methods are simple and practical.
