TECHNOLOGY WAS RECENTLY INTRODUCED -- TECHNOLOGY DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR PROCESS PLANNERS. THE ICEM PART SYSTEM WORKS DIRECTLY FROM B-REP SOLID MODELS PRODUCED BY MANY POPULAR DESIGN SYSTEMS. THROUGH FEATURE RECOGNITION, THESE MODELS ARE BROKEN DOWN INTO RECOGNIZABLE MANUFACTURING FEATURES. A KNOWLEDGE BASED SYSTEM STORES SHOP FLOOR INFORMATION, INCLUDING AVAILABLE CUTTER TOOLS, MACHINE TOOLS, AND PREFERRED MACHINING METHODS. BY COMBINING THESE TECHNOLOGIES, THE SYSTEM CAN AUTOMATICALLY RECOMMEND SETUPS, SELECT CUTTER TOOLS AND MACHINES, OPTIMIZE MACHINING OPERATIONS, AND PRODUCE COMPLETE NC TOOL PATHS AND REPORTS. PROCESS PLANNING EFFORTS ARE DRASTICALLY REDUCED AND QUALITY IS IMPROVED THROUGH CONSISTENT APPLICATION OF STANDARD PRACTICES.
