Abstract :
It is evident that a STEP-based PnP (plug-and-play) CAD/CAPP integrative tool is very helpful for product data integration. However, the problem is in the difficulty in developing an integrated PnP tool that can be applied to heterogeneous CAD and CAPP systems. This paper presents the framework of a CAD/CAPP integrative tool with PnP characteristics. This implementation is by a series of model mapping from AP203 to AP224 and between AP214 and AP203/AP224.
