Abstract

An expert process planning and fixturing system described in [14] is improved here by applying Boolean operations. This system uses forward planning strategy, i.e. begins with the blank part and applies some operations for each face or feature until reaching the finished part. This paper is focused on finished and intermediate part modeling within the process planning system by geometric transformations and Boolean operations.
