The increasing variety of variants and the high time expenditure in CAM programming require new approaches to automating process planning. The aim of your work is to develop a feature-based concept for the automated selection of machining operations, machines and tools in CAM programming.

You will support us with:

• Identifying and analysing component features (e.g. drill holes, grooves or free-form surfaces)
• Developing a decision model that automatically selects suitable CAM operations, machine configurations (e.g. 3-/5-axis machining) and tools for each feature
• Validating the AI algorithm using various components

Ideally you have:

• Experience in using CAD programmes such as Siemens NX and programming languages such as Python
• Interest in CAM planning

The automated analysis of component features offers great potential for increasing efficiency in production planning. The aim of your work is to develop an approach that allows you to compare component features from CAD models. This will enable you to create suitable production strategies and an automated cost calculation.

You will support us with:

• Analysing and describing geometric, topological and manufacturing feature properties
• Representing these properties (e.g. in feature vectors or graphs)
• Programming a rule-based or modern AI comparison algorithm
• Analysing production orders and cost factors

Ideally you have:

• Experience in using CAD programmes such as Siemens NX and programming languages such as Python
• An interest in automated cost calculation for components in machining production
