Design of casting blanks in CAPP system for parts of piston-cylinder assembly of internal combustion engines

Abstract

Development of information technology industry provided great possibilities in the area of integration of diff erent CAx systems, such as CAD, CAM, CAE and others. In order to successfully link systems of automated-design (or Computer Aided Design - CAD) with automated manufacturing systems (or Computer Aided Manufacturing – CAM), automation of manufacturing process planning is needed, i.e. CAPP (Computer-Aided Process Planning) systems can bridge a gap between design and manufacturing. In this paper is shown design of casting blanks in CAPP system for parts of piston-cylinder assembly of internal combustion engines in a manufacturing system.
