Abstract
In the field of process planning most of the working time is spent for the following activities:
machine tool and tool assignment
determination of the set-up and process sequence
definition of tool paths
optimization of cutting parameters
The quality how these activities are done influence substantially manufacturing cost that are to be minimized.
The more complex a planning task is the more difficult it is for the planner to work out an optimal solution within reasonable time.
In this article it will be discussed how process planning of prismatic workpieces considering drilling and milling machining can be optimized by computer assistance.
