Abstract :
This paper describes a methodology to integrate design and manufacturing using a feature recognition technique for achieving some concurrent engineering goals. The input of the feature recognition is the boundary representation (B-rep) of solid models. The features considered in this work are protrusion and depression types of prismatic components. The features´ faces are planar, cylindrical and hybrid. The recognized features are to be used for a downstream manufacturing application
