In this study, an automatic process planning system for milling operation is proposed, in which user's intention for process planning is considered. First, our new process planning system stores the geometrical properties of the selected machining region when a user decides the machining sequence. After storing the geometrical properties, the appropriate machining sequence can be automatically selected by referring geometrical properties of the machining region. User's intention, which is involved implicitly in the stored geometrical properties of the machining region, can be applied to decide machining sequence. A case study was conducted to show the effectiveness of our new proposed process planning system. In the case study, user-specific machining sequences were automatically determined based on the implicit relation among the geometrical properties of the machining region and the individual user's intention.
