Both the topics of Computer Aided Process Planning and Production Planning in the context of sheet metal air bending have been presented as standalone topics previously. This paper will focus on the interaction between both modules. Choices made by the CAPP-module seem to influence the possible gains that can be obtained in production planning and vice versa. The used procedures for both the CAPP module, including process planning and tool selection for air bending, and the Production Planning module, modelling the production planning as a Travelling Purchaser Problem, are described. The different areas of interaction between both modules are also specified. Results demonstrate that the interaction between both modules has a significant impact and should be taken into account in an integrated process and production planning system.

This paper describes computer aided process planning for a freeform surface; sheet metal features. Automotive body panels are always manufactured using thin forming sheets; the developed CAPP system consists of two modules which are feature recognition module based on STEP AP203 and a process plan module; two additional modules for automotive panel CAPP system and cost estimation module are also incorporated in the system of punch and bending operation. Stamped or punched features in generative shape design are used to design automotive panels; the generative CAPP system is written in visual basic 2008 language and implemented in several case studies demonstrated in the present work. Feature recognition of punched; stamped internal features in free form surface recognized in base of data exchange files using STEP AP203 ISO-10303-21.

Traditional Process

The shape of metal part is complicated, and its process planning requires high standardization in sheet metal manufacturing. Sheet metal can be modularized for its diversification and succession feature. Modular process planning is discussed by contrasting traditional process planning, and modular process development steps are described. The modularity of process can improve the efficiency and accuracy of process planning for sheet metal computer aided process planning.
