To manufacture a die or a mold, many different cutting tools are involved, from deep hole drills to the smallest ball nose end mills. Since the specification of each tool is very different from each other, each mold or die is specific with their complicated shapes and many machining rules exist to consider, a great deal of expertise is needed in planning the machining operations. An expert system (DieEX) developed for this purpose is described in the present work. The geometry and the material of the workpiece, tool material, tool condition and operation type are considered as input values and various recommendations about the tool type, tool specifications, work holding method, type of milling operation, direction of feed and offset values are provided.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessDie and mold makingExpert systemsDesignSelectionToolsComputer scienceEngineeringRoboticsArticle0002287056000092-s2.0-10444263758175183212Computer science, interdisciplinary applicationsRoboticsEngineering, manufacturing
