Abstract :
Data exchange and system integration have become important considerations in computer-aided systems in order to improve productivity. This has led to the development of a neutral format that is used to facilitate product data exchange between manufacturing components. This paper describes a methodology to extract feature information from a STEP file and recognize features using a rule-based technique.
