Abstract
In order to improve the communication and co-ordination between CAD and CAPP, a concept called “process planning working space” is proposed in this paper, which is used to integrate CAD and CAPP and to support design for manufacturing.
Based on the design methodology, a concept of design working space has been used in the early product design stage. A bi-directional connection between design working space and process planning working space is established to make it possible for designer and process planner to share the information in design domain and in process planning domain, so that the product structure that is suitable for manufacturing can be generated supported by the information from process planning domain.
The process planning working space possesses a hierarchical structure. With its decomposition operation the object of process planning can be simplified. A case-based reasoning method is used to generate manufacturing solution for each sub-object that is contained in process planning working space.
