title = "IFBDS: an intelligent feature-based design system for machining process planning",
abstract = "CAPP (computer aided process planning) is an important bridge linking CAD and CAM. It has been a major problem to convert design into suitable forms for various applications. Two common approaches (i.e. feature recognition and design by features) have been widely used to tackle this problem, but the progress has not met industrial expectations. This paper presents a hybrid method that combines both approaches to create a feature-based component data model (FBCDM) which is suitable for machining process planning and NC programming. Illustrative examples are provided to demonstrate the concept and algorithms devised. Attempts are made to reduce human intervention to a minimum at the design stage in tagging feature-related information while making full use of geometric reasoning to generate the FBCDM. Essential manufacturability assessment is carried out during the modeling process.",
