Abstract: A new graph grammar based reasoning is proposed to reason about the manufacturability of 3D solid models. The knowledge captured in the graph grammar rules serves as a virtual machinist in its ability to recognize arbitrary ...

Abstract: With the increase in computercontrolled hybrid machining (e.g., millturn machining), one needs to discern what features of a part are created during turning (i.e., with a lathe cutter) versus those created by milling. Given ...
