Description Today, feature-based design has become a core technology for solid product modelling primarily because it can capture the designer's intent and provide the capability to satisfy the informational needs of the down-line application tasks for CAD/CAM integration. This paper reports the development of an intelligent environment, IFPP (Intelligent Feature-based Process Planning), for the feature-based design synthesis and process planning of prismatic parts to be produced on CNC machining centres. IFPP consists of two functional modules, namely Feature Based Modeller (FBM) and Automatic process Planner (AutoPlan). The FBM provides a graphical environment for the feature-based synthesis, validation and representation of the solid model of the part to be produced. AutoPlan maps this feature information to the corresponding machining processes to generate the operation plan and corresponding CNC code. This CNC code is unique in that it is functionally encapsulated with the feature data to provide a 'Variant' strategy utilizing the special parametric programming facilities provided on the controller. IFPP thus demonstrates an integrated part-process environment that enables quick turnaround from design to manufacture.
