Title :
An object-oriented rapid design and automated fabrication planning system
Author_Institution :

Abstract :
Research in an attempt to close or eliminate the gap between designer and machinist is described. It is pointed out that, unlike nature, machinists and process planners can ask designers why certain design parameters and values are chosen. Specifically, the author addresses the overall concept of supplying the `why´ of an object-oriented design approach along with the `how´ and `what´ to the manufacturers so as to enhance the producibility of simply machined (prismatic) parts
