Aiming at the problem of process data update and working procedure model, the three-dimension CAPP (Computer Aided Process Planning) based on three-dimension CAD (Computer Aided Design) is proposed. The core of the system is the process model that is used to transfer data between CAPP and CAD system. This system can solve the problem of two-dimension CAPP based on parameter feature modeling of three-dimension CAD and has been applied to some aviation enterprises in china.

This paper discusses the issues of integrating the Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) programs in commercial software. Integration was achieved through implementation of a computer-aided process planning (CAPP) system within the commercial software. The part model was imported into, or designed in, the commercial CAD system. Manufacturing information was then extracted from the part model by the CAPP system using commercial Application Programming Interfacing (API) methods. The CAPP system then uses the extracted information to produce a process plan consistent with the requirements of the commercial CAM module to produce Numerical Control (NC) code. The internal integration was accomplished using commercial API methods that dynamically bind the CAD, CAPP, and CAM into a single continuous application. These APIs are implemented using the Orbix middleware following the CORBA standard. A case study demonstrating the integration is presented. Strengths and weaknesses of integrating the CAD and CAM domains using APIs and middleware are discussed.

With the rapid development of modern science and technology and computer technique, modern enterprise faces new challenges for product design, production, management, market planning and sales. The products of enterprises develop towards diversification, serialization and individualization. Technological design is important in product manufacturing process and is a bond of product design and actual production. Therefore, modern enterprises need to develop computer aided process planning system to improve the quality and efficiency of process design of the enterprise. Starting from the requirements of enterprises on computer aided process planning systems and combining the existing Web technology, the paper proposes the study on integration of computer aided process planning system and PDM system. The development and application of the system not only provides strong support for enterprises realizing rapid design and manufacture and strong basis for enterprises realizing computer integrated manufacturing system, but also makes informationization degree, economic benefit and social benefit of enterprises improve greatly.

Abstract Integrated Product Process Development tools which minimize downstream manufacturing risk at the earliest design stages and avoid costly Design-Build-Test cycles are essential to achieving product profitability and meeting market windows. This paper summarizes initial work performed towards the development of the Manufacturing Simulation Driver (MSD) system which will demonstrate the automatic generation and execution of distributed manufacturing simulations. These simulation models are produced by Computer Aided Process Planning (CAPP) software tools which reason about Computer Aided Design (CAD) product models and produce manufacturing “scripts” from a process and resource model of a manufacturing facility. This capability will enable emerging virtual enterprises conducting collaborative design and manufacturing to simulate and prove out the manufacturing cycle of a product prior to launching production ramp-up. 1
