The rapid advancement of information technology and its integration with the manufacturing technology increased the necessity of consistent and coherent data flow in the chain of Computer Aided Design (CAD)-Computer aided Manufacturing (CAM)-Computer Numerical Control (CNC). To achieve this, ISO 10303 standard (STEP), developed by ISO, is seen as a solution since STEP is independent of the environment on which design data, manufacturing data or machining data produced. In this thesis, efficiency of NC-code generation, with the inclusion of process planning data, from a STEP based CAD data is investigated. For the investigation purposes, software responsible for both building the STEP based CAD data and generating related NC-code automatically is developed. Using this software, several parts are designed; generated NC-codes are verified via CNC simulators and some test parts are produced. STEP AP224 based feature modeler, developed specifically for 2- axis rotational part design, includes; feature library, feature modeler employing SW2007 via API for visualization and preprocessor responsible for generation of STEP file in neutral format, called STEP Part 21. The NC-code generator includes; postprocessor responsible for STEP Part 21 interpretation, CNC machine tool and cutting tool database and preprocessor responsible for NC-code generation.

The developments in recent technologies through Industry 4.0 lead to the integration of digital design and manufacturing processes. While manufacturing is becoming an essential input of the design, it is usually considered at the last stages of the design process. This misconception creates a gap between digital design and fabrication, resulting in fabricated outcome being different from initial design in the context of architectural tectonics. This thesis aims to provide a basis to bridge digital design an...
