FR technology can be used to automatically extract various kinds of information necessary for machining.

| |
| Overview |
| |
| Process planning activities such as set-up generation, process selection, tool selection, machining sequence etc. are largely dependent on the types of features and their inter-relationships in the model. |
| |
| |
| Process planning activities include: |

| Feature Information Output |
Application in CAPP |
| Feature type: hole, pocket, etc |
Used to determine machining process and type of tool. For e.g., for a hole, use drilling process and a drill tool. |
| Feature parameters: radius, depth of hole, etc |
Used to determine machining setups and sequence of operations |
| Feature parameters: radius, depth of hole, etc |
Used to determine machining setups and sequence of operations |
| Feature inter-relationships (i.e. interactions with other features) |
Used to determine machining setups and sequence of operations |
| Feature geometry |
Used to generate the actual NC code |

FR technology can be used to automatically extract various kinds of information necessary for machining. For example:
- Feature parameters (e.g. corner radius, depth of hole, fillet radius, etc.) are useful for NC code generation
- Feature cross-sections are useful for profile-based NC applications, and
- Feature faces for surface-based NC applications
The manufacturing view generates machinable feature information, including multiple alternative machining views of features. |
