Expert knowledge justification in PLC models applied to flank milling
Résumé
Several trades interact on the product life cycle (PLC). Each of them generates data based on their expertise. Process planning consists in a complex transformation between design geometry and manufacturing processes. In this scope, we focused on hard coded algorithms that define manufacturing zones on parts. Their results require clarification to be accepted and used by process planners. We propose here a justification model to this problem and discuss its contribution to the integration of product and process and its extensibility to other PLC transitions
