Abstract
This paper describes a methodology for the direct information transfer from CAD to CAPP, linking dissimilar ‘islands of automation’. In this methodology, a neutral file, which evolves from a CAD model, is used as the information source for generating the GT codes based on which detailed process plans are generated. The significance of this research can be shown when applied to the many designs which have been generated on dissimilar CAD systems in the past and now can be automatically coded for multiple manufacturing purposes. The creation of a generic integration system from CAD to CAPP can then be achieved.
