Numerically controlled (NC) machining has and will continue to              enhance manufacturing productivity by yielding final products with high         reliability and high precision.  NC machines are driven by computer             programs that are usually written by available shop personnel.                  Generation, correction, and verification of NC code are time-consuming          tasks.  Computer-assisted NC coding software is available, but with             limited capability.  Currently, there exist only weak links between             computer-aided design (CAD) systems and NC machining.  The ideal is a           fully integrated system wherein the NC code is generated automatically          from a CAD-generated part specification.  There is a strong need to             provide an economical and efficient means to verify the correctness of          an NC program and to provide automatic generation of NC programs from a         CAD database.                                                                           Microcompatibles proposes to apply a novel solid modeling method        to the problem of automatic NC code generation and verification.  They          will create an efficient and economical mechanism to generate 3D                graphical emulation of NC machining providing dimensional information,          checks for undesired tool, spindle, fixture, or workpiece collisions,           and                                                                             automated verification capability.  This is a small business Innovation         Phase I award.
