System comprising a computer assisted design device and a computer assisted manufacturing preparation device

摘要

The system has computer-aided design and manufacturing systems and an interface for passing computer-aided design data from the computer-aided design system to the computer-aided manufacturing system. At least one database connected to the computer-aided manufacturing system has accessible data and/or algorithms that can be used in conjunction with computer-aided design data to select tools and specify numerically controlled machine data. Independent claims are also included for the following: (a) a method of construction and production preparation of workpieces for processing in several processes in various numerically controlled machines (b) a computer-aided production plant (c) and a computer-assisted design system.
