INFELT STEP: An integrated and interoperable platform for collaborative CAD/CAPP/CAM/CNC machining systems based on STEP standard
, Article International Journal of Computer Integrated Manufacturing ; Volume 23, Issue 12 , 2010 , Pages 1095-1117 ; 0951192X (ISSN) ; Houshmand, M ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
Integrated product development is comprised of CAD, process planning and CNC code generation based on an integrated data structure. To make various CAD/CAM software solutions with different internal product data structures interoperable, it is necessary to realise reliable and robust information exchange capability in a manufacturing environment. To enable interoperability amongst integrated product development processes, management of collaboration of diverse CAD/CAM software packages is of outmost importance. In this article, the fundamental requirements for achieving interoperability and collaboration management in an integrated, enterprise-wide, product development process environment...
Extended INFELT STEP: An interoperable platform for managing collaboration among New Product Development applications and CAD/CAM software integrated based on ISO 10303 (STEP) standard
, Article Proceedings of the International MultiConference of Engineers and Computer Scientists 2010, IMECS 2010, 17 March 2010 through 19 March 2010, Kowloon ; 2010 , Pages 1820-1826 ; 9789881701282 (ISBN) ; Houshmand, M ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
Today's information technology capabilities enable the enterprises to increase the manufacturing collaboration and interoperability among their different departments. These departments are engaged in different product development processes from design to manufacturing. INFELT STEP is a three-layered platform. These layers have functions and structures that enable the INFELT STEP platform to manage the product development collaboration among different CAD/CAM application software with an integrated product data structure. INFELT STEP has structures and functions in its interoperability layer that enable different CAD/CAM application software and CNC post processors to use their own data...
C-MAN: a Novel Manufacturing Platform Based on Cloud Manufacturing Paradigm
, Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology ; Houshmand, Mahmoud (Supervisor)
Abstract
The synergy of fundamental factors like changes in governmental policies, global expansions of the manufacturing industries and improvements in technology related to reliability of manufacturing information flow have created the global manufacturing revolution in the first years of the twenty-first century. The concept of global manufacturing enterprise potentially brings up benefits and opportunities for today’s manufacturing enterprises like reduction of manufacturing costs by utilizing low labor-cost countries, reduction of business risks and introduction of new markets as a new source for enterprise growth. However, it enforces enterprise to endure costs to adopt the global...

Abstract
Integrated design includes CAD, process planning and CNC code generation based on an integrated data structure. To enable different CAD/CAM software solutions to be interoperable, it is required to support data exchange in manufacturing enterprises. To realize interoperability there are two basic approaches: i. to focus on STEP standard to support data exchange between CAD systems as well as CAPP/CAM and CNC machining systems; the use of STEP standard ensures the data integration based on STEP standard. ii. utilizing a platform consists of structures and procedures to enable exchange of data between different CAD/CAM/CAPP software applications seamlessly. In this article, the important...
A Novel Framework to Enable STEP-NC Extension of Tool Library Based on Cloud Manufacturing Paradigm
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Houshmand, Mahmoud (Supervisor)
Abstract
ISO 10303 Standard also known as STEP, is an standard in the domain of mechanical manufacturing that describes data relating to drawings, design, machining, process planning, engineering and other aspects of product which all together can describe the entire life cycle of products. However, as this standard is newly born and developing these data models are expensive and time consuming, so far, no data model for description of cutting tools is developed. In this project we study the STEP parts and protocols to understand how data is stored. We study EXPRESS Modeling language, the language developed as part of the STEP standard which is the official language of data modeling in STEP. And use...
A Novel System to Enable Interoperability Among Distributed CAM Software Packages and CNC Machining Post Processors
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Houshmand, Mahmoud (Supervisor)
Abstract
Today’s businesses strategies are changing from traditional point of view to globalization and distributed enterprise. Companies have to consider flexibility in term of quantity and variety. They have to manage and organize the product development chain where low cost resources are available. Therefore, enterprises and companies should facilitate the flow of information and increase the interoperability between distributed agents. The main information flow occurs in CAD/CAM/CNC chain. Information flow at the end of the chain has always been the main obstacle to enable interoperability. Old Standards for programming CNC machine tools are the main problem to exchange data and facilitate...
Integration of Design and Manufacturing Systems Using Neutral Data Structure
, Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology ; Hooshmand, Mahmoud (Supervisor)
Abstract
In competitive environment of quick market changes, developing an interoperable manufacturing system is a necessity. Process planning as a connection link between design and manufacturing, has never been able to integrate these up/down stream activities and in spite of employing computer systems, CAPP’s information has been managed in an isolated manner. To realize interoperability, the exchange of part and product data must be independent of their platforms. There are two basic approaches for this purpose: i) Utilizing interface and ii) Utilizing neutral formats. STEP (Standard for the Exchange of Product data) plays a significant role as a neutral data model to integrate design,...
Dealing with feature interactions for prismatic parts in STEP-NC

Abstract
Determining the precedence of machining features is a critical issue in feature-based process planning. It becomes more complex when geometric interaction occurs between machining features. STEP-NC, the extension of STEP (ISO 10303) standard developed for CNC controllers, is a feature-based data model. It represents all the geometric and topological product data minus feature interactions. In this paper, machining precedence of interactive and non-interactive STEP-NC features is discussed. Local and global precedence of machining features are defined on the basis of geometric constraints, such as geometric interaction of features and feature approach face and technological constraint such as...
