Abstract

After an introduction to the importance of CAPP systems and a short overview of the main working principles, algorithms and problems, this chapter discusses some issues regarding the application of CAPP systems in the fields of machining, assembly and disassembly. Examples of successfully tested CAPP systems are presented and discussed. Some conclusions regarding the predictable future developments of CAPP systems are finally drawn.
