Abstract
High-speed and high-precision machine tools developed recently have contributed to shorten machining time in parts machining. However,process planning still depends on skillful experts to determine manufacturing information such as machining sequence, cutting tool and so on. As a result, the increase in the ratio of preparation time is an issue for realizing high-mix low-volume production. Therefore, it is expected to improve the efficiency of parts machining by achieving the automation of process planning. In this study, case-based reasoning based on recognized machining features is adopted to determine manufacturing information in parts machining.
