Abstract :
An object-oriented kernel that integrates design and process planning in the domain of mechanical parts is presented. The kernel identifies and separates the integral elements of its domain from the elements that are associated with a particular design/manufacturing environment. Consequently, it can be customized to a wide range of environments and be used as a rapid prototyping tool. A prototype is developed and implemented in Smalltalk-80
