Utilization of strategies to generate and optimize machining sequences in CAD/CAM

At present some CAD/CAM systems allow to create strategies or macros to accelerate the process of creation NC programs. The article deals with the development of experimental strategies in the CAD/CAM system. These strategies allow to remove repetitive tasks and allow to accelerate the process of creation the NC programs for machine tools. Feature analysis contained basic types of features and additional attributes of features. This feature analysis is based on possibilities of CAD/CAM system. (C) 2017 The Authors.
