Abstract
For the generation of process plans based on manufacturing features, it is necessary to develop a feature library that consists of pre-defined manufacturing features and the corresponding manufacturing information to create the shape of the features. This paper describes the development of a feature library for a process planning system. The feature library plays an important role for the management of manufacturing information based on manufacturing features, and is developed to support the extraction of manufacturing features and the corresponding process sequences and other manufacturing information. The prototype feature library is developed using Wiki so that the feature library can be managed easily.
