Abstract
This paper describes a system for the automated manufacture of metal parts developed at the National Bureau of Standards by the author and his colleagues. The paper emphasizes the software. The system includes a friendly CAD editor for a feature-based design protocol, an automatic process planner, an nc-code writer, a vertical milling machine tended by a robot, and a workstation control system. The software for the control system, the editor, the process planner, and the code-writer is in Lisp and runs on a Sun computer. The system, optionally, will draw the part being made, verify the design, and verify the process plan. A part may be designed and made within an hour on this system.Proceedings Title
