CAD SYSTEM

CAD models of the part P and stock S

Designer 1.Identify Features Find all primary machining features for P. Call this set .

2.Generate FBM

Generate the feature-based model F .

3.Generate Plan Generate an operation plan O for F. If O can satisfy Ps machining tolerances, then estimate its cost and time 4.Evaluate Plan

5.Feedback
