The Computer Aided Process Planning (CAPP) systems are recently developed in manufacturing engineering to provide links between Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) systems. The CAPP systems are developed by considering the different issues of computer applications in production engineering. Optimization techniques can be applied to the CAPP to increase efficiency in part production processes. The energy consumption of part production process can be analyzed and optimized using the CAPP systems in order to increase added value in the part manufacturing process. Also, artificial neural networks as well as cloud manufacturing systems can be applied to the CAPP systems to share advantages of the different CAPP systems in different industry applications. Flexible process planning systems are developed using dynamic CAPP in order to cope with product varieties in process of part production. To develop potential energy saving strategies during product design and process planning stages, the advanced CAPP systems can be used. In this paper, a review of Computer Process Planning systems (CAPP) is presented and future research works are also suggested. It has been observed that the research filed can be moved forward by reviewing and analyzing recent achievements in the published papers.

Machined powertrain components are a subset of machined parts that introduce unique and difficult problems to product design, process planning and manufacturing system design for the automotive industry. They are complex, high value-added components that must be produced at large volumes to stringent quality standards. Accordingly product development cycles are typically long. Integrated computer-aided approaches are thus desirable for reducing this time and helping manufacturing engineers design the best process and specify the optimal manufacturing system configuration. This paper presents a framework for integrating Computer-Aided Design (CAD), Computer-Aided Process Planning (CAPP) and Computer-Aided Manufacturing Systems Engineering (CAE-MS) for producing machined powertrain components. It describes the key components of this framework and in some cases details of the methods and technologies adopted for their realization. This solution is based upon a feature-centric philosophy. This stands in contrast to the product-variant approach that has been common practice in this industry.

ISO 14649, known as STEP-NC, is new model of data transfer between CAD/CAM systems and CNC machines. In this paper, the modeling based on machining feature is proposed. The machining feature comes from the manufacturing process considering the restriction of machining technology and machining resource. Then the framework for computer aided process planning is presented, where the algorithms of operation planning is studied. The practical example has been provided and results indicate that machining feature based model can integrate with CAPP and STEP-NC seamlessly.
