Abstract: In machining process planning, it is critical to ensure that the part created following the manufacturing steps complies with the designated design tolerances. However, the challenge is that manufacturing errors are ...

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 ...
