Abstract
A method and a corresponding system and computer program product are provided. A model of an object to be manufactured is obtained. Information about one or more available machine tools and one or more available cutting tools is obtained. A geometric feature to be machined as part of manufacturing the object is identified. A database including strategies for machining different geometric features is accessed. The database includes a plurality of strategies defining different ways of machining the identified geometric feature. One or more strategies are selected from the plurality of strategies based on the obtained information. A computer simulation is performed for the one or more selected strategies, and user instructions responsive to the computer simulation are received. Instructions for causing one or more machine tools to manufacture the object via subtractive manufacturing are provided based on the user instructions and a strategy of the one or more selected strategies.
