Abstract :
One of the consequences of the availability of less expensive graphics, processing and memory facilities is that language-based part programming systems are likely to be displaced by workstation systems using interactive graphics. This article considers the growing role of the part programming workstation as companies move towards integration of their engineering and manufacturing operations.
