Abstract
Abstract: A CAD/CAM system that automates the design and manufacturing of rebars is described. The CAD‐based design module of the system permits a semiautomated design alongside the conventional one. The uniqueness of the system resides in its ability to extract automatically the data needed for manufacturing from the graphic design database, process these data, and transfer them to the rebar‐manufacturing machine. Thus all the manual data manipulation stages of traditional rebar design and production (detailing, documentation, data extraction, etc.) are avoided. In many cases the multistage manual data manipulation is a source of errors and is moreover labor‐intensive. Consequently, the CAD/CAM system described here leads to cost reduction together with increased quality. This paper describes the principles underlying the development of the system and the system's structure, which is based on a design module, a data extraction module, and a data processing and transfer module.
