Iterative Method of Data Transfer from CAD to CAM Systems for the Profile of Stamping Dies

Abstract

A proposal method for data transfer from CAD to CAM program has been investigated in the present work using iterative process for the stamping dies. The Bezier and B-spline equations forcurves and surfaces of n-degree had been derived as a matrix and formulated using MATLAB program, then a computer program had been constructed for the data transfer as a case study. The procedure of converting the profile of stamping dies from CAD program to CAM program without any geometrical distortion had been presented. The implementation of data transfer and the simulation using UGS(UniGraghics Solutions) program observed that the transformation of any complex profile shape from CAD to CAM program done without any distortion in final shape of the profile in CAM program. The present method matched the experimental result conformity and used in short time as compared with other methods.
