Abstract :
This paper deals with a method to produce a program in numerical control (NC) language from a part drawing in a CAD system. This method is applied to any piece with revolution axis that can be machined in a CNC lathe. The method was developed with the goal of being integrated in the control software of the flexible manufacturing system existent in the CIM center of ISEP. The proposed method involves three phases, which are presented and explained
