Abstract

Process planning can be an integral part of the manufacturing cycle and Computer Aided Process Planning CAPP has emerged as a key requirement in a Computer Integrated Manufacturing CIM environment At the U S Army Missile Command MICOM in the Manufacturing Technology Division of the Research Development and Engineering Center a CAPP system has been developed to meet this requirement Current research is being performed to develop the necessary interfaces for the smooth transition of information from automated design to the process planning system and then to create code to run the automated shop floor equipment directly from the process plan output This paper will discuss this research effort
