This investigation addresses distributed environments for computer-aided process planning (CAPP) over a network. The Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) standard using Java is applied to implement cross-platform and distributed computing architecture, thus reducing the system loading during manufacturing process planning. The product-oriented standard, standard exchange of product (STEP), model data is applied to define a robust data model that associates product, shape, and feature definitions and provides the mechanisms for data exchange, sharing, and integration with other engineering systems, such as computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM). STEP AP224 is engaged to define the machining features of machined products in the proposed CAPP system. The life cycle of a product from design to sale, and especially the period of manufacturing, can be greatly shortened; the cost of manufacturing can be reduced and the quality of the product can be improved using the proposed CAPP system.
