Abstract:

This paper reports on the development of 3'C-CAPP for an interactive-generative computer-aided process planning system for 2.5D part machining. However, the input details are obtained from a 3'CAM technique. Sequencing has been implemented based on operations. The operations like drilling and circular interpolation and corner milling can be identified automatically as for the order of operational preference given to a feature. Further, a scheduling based on a drill; mill (End) and mill (corner) have been developed for optimizing the time. However, a single sequencing and scheduling is perhaps not sufficient for all operations in all situations. So, there must be a change manufacturing environment with the multiple objectives number of operations, time consideration for each operation for optimization in tool and parameters change. Most of the works were carried out in determining the operation sequence on a single milling machine that can be extended to multi machines. The selection of efficient machining parameters is of great concern in manufacturing industries. The program has been developed by .Net software at backend and Visual Studio IDE at the front end
