Abstract

Human interpretation of CAD data is required for generating process plans and NC tape images in existing CAD/CAM systems. In order lo eliminate this human interpretation, an algorithm for automatically identifying all machined surfaces on symmetric rotational parts is presented. An implementation procedure of the surface recognition algorithm is described along with examples. The algorithm is suitable for manufacturing applications, such as automated process planning, classification and coding, and NC tape image generation.
