| Abstract: | In the competitive worldwide manufacturing market, smooth integration of computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) is critical for manufacturer survival. A key CAD/CAM component in this effort is the representation of product designs in terms of features - elements at a semantically higher level than the pure geometric elements typically used in CAD and CAM systems. |
