CAD와 CAPP의 통합화를 위한 형상특징의 자동인식

This paper presents a method for automatic part feature recognition from the database of AutoCAD system for automatic process planning input. The parts considered in this study are primastic parts composed of faces perpendicular to the X, Y, Z axes and the types of features considered are through steps, blind steps, through slots, blind slots, and pockets. Features are recognized by using the concept of convex points and concave points. The software program is coded by using Turbo Pascal on the IBM PC/AT.
