Die design and manufacturing are organic unity, primarily owning to its own characteristics. On account of the fact that curves and surfaces constitute the main inner part of die, CAD software can be applied in die designing, plotting and three-dimensional modeling. Additionally, CAPP software could be applied in the scheming of die processing while CAM software in the imitation of die manufacturing. As the intensive research and development of CAD/CAPP/CAM, computers not only offer spacious room for die design, modeling and application but also bring about great prospects for research and development of computer software.
