This research in the area of manufacturing automation is focused on the         study of linking design and process control through automated process           planning.  Process planning is the task of determining manufacturing            operations and sequences for making a piece part or assembly.  It links         the design, production planning and control, and manufacturing process          control functions.  Efforts are underway to study automated                     understanding of design models to extract manufacturable features from          geometric models and to examine assembly planning and different                 functional modules for an intelligent process planning system.  The             overall goal is to develo principles for modeling manufacturing                 knowledge, for understanding CAD geometric models, and for generating           automated CNC control codes.
