Workpiece, Shape, and PDM
• Workpiece is a STEP product description
• Has owner information, approvals, dates and times.
• Material and material properties
• Workpiece uses the same STEP shape representations as AP203, AP214, AP224 and other STEP APs.
• Produced by any CAD system that supports STEP.

Machining Features
• 2.5D milling features– Hole, pocket, slot, step, etc
• Transition features– Edge round and chamfer
• Replicate feature– Patterns of repeated features
• Region features– Surfaces for freeform milling
• Turning features– Outer round, knurl, groove

Dimensions and Geometric Tolerances
• Dimensions defining location– Location defined by a linear
distance– Location defined by a
distance along a curve– Location defined by an angle
• Dimensions defining size– Curves, angle, diameter,
radius, thickness, length, width, height
• Geometric characteristics with datums as needed.
– angularity, circular runout, coaxiality, concentricity, cylindricity, flatness, line profile, parallelism, perpendicularity, position, roundness, straightness, surface profile, symmetry, total runout

Toolpaths
• Used for explicit control of the tool motion for an operation.– Can use splines or other curves to describe motion and feedrates.– Can describe path as machine independent motion of tool center
point or tool contact point.– Can also describe path using old-style machine dependent motion
of individual axis.

Technology Operations• Drilling
– Drilling, boring, back boring, tapping/threading
– Many strategy parameters
• 2.5D Machining– Plane and side milling,
roughing and finishing– Set of strategies
• Freeform Machining– 3, 4, and 5axis motion– Set of strategies
• Turning Operations– Contouring, facing, grooving,
threading and knurling– Set of strategies

Milling and Turning Cutting Tools
• Every operation can have a tool associated.– Calls out required characteristic tool parameters– Potential for some optimization by the controller.
• G&M codes just referenced tool #1, #2, etc.– Human must make sure that #1 corresponds to the right thing.– Controller not able to add any value to the process.
