ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a method of horizontally structured automated CAD/CAM manufacturing process, comprising: selecting a blank for machining into an actual part; establishing a coordinate system; creating a master process model comprising: virtual blank corresponding to the blank; a manufacturing feature; virtual machining of the manufacturing feature into the virtual blank, the manufacturing feature exhibiting an associative relationship with the coordinate system; and generating machining instructions to create the actual part by machining the manufacturing feature into the blank; capturing manufacturing process rules in a spread sheet; and the spread sheet exhibiting an associative relationship with the master process model. Also disclosed is a manufactured part created by a method of horizontally structured automated CAD/CAM manufacturing process. Also disclosed is a storage medium and computer data signal encoded with a machine-readable computer program code for horizontally structured automated CAD/CAM manufacturing.
