SIMULTANEOUS APPROACH OF CAD AND CAM TECHNOLOGIES USING CONSTRUCTIVE-TECHNOLOGICAL ENTITIES

摘要

The paper presents an original CAM software system based on the concept of constructive-technological entity. The new software is developed in Visual LISP environment and uses AutoLISP and DCL programming languages. The system allows generating of CNC files, since the CAD phase, both for parts partly defined from geometrical view point and for fully design parts. Based on the constructive-technological entities, the system is fully integrated with CAD and CAPP phases allowing development of products according to the principles of concurrent/simultaneous engineering.
