The globalisation of manufacturing has led to a need for a common language which can be used throughout the entire product development life cycle. AdvancedDesign and Manufacturing Based on STEP discusses the most successful of the proposed solutions – the STandard for Exchange of Product model, or STEP. STEP aims to provide a complete computer-interpretable product data format, so thatusers can integrate business and technical data to support all aspects of theproduct development cycle. Of particular significance is the publication of STEP-NC as an extension of STEP to NC. The twenty chapters in this volume coverrecent research results, and a range of STEP and STEP-NC application case studies from the fields of design and manufacturing. Advanced Design and Manufacturing Based on STEP will serve as a useful compilation for researchers and students in advanced manufacturing technologies and manufacturing information systems.
