Abstract

Here we are developing a knowledge base for computer-aided process planning (CAPP). Machining features will be taken as input and process plan will be generated automatically using knowledge base. Knowledge base basically contains a set of defining rules that system uses for decision-making. We will be using multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) technique to develop our knowledge-based rules for a given part family. We are considering masterpiece of that family which includes all operations used by family members. This masterpiece will give us useful criteria for decision-making. Hence, we will be linking CAD and CAM in an automated manner.
