AbstractCurrent industrial trend all over the world is towards increasing use of computerized manufacturing systems. Sheet metals are difficult to machine using conventional cutting processes, but are almost essential part in most of the recent products. Some of the newly developed materials are possible to machine using non-traditional machining processes for high accuracy, high production rate and economy. Abrasive waterjet cutting process is one of the non-traditional processes used in the modern industrial world. The non-traditional machining processes can now work in the Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) environment, which comprises of Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM). Computer Aided Process Planning (CAPP) is an important step essential for the integration of CAD and CAM. In this report the Computer Aided Process Planning for parts to be machined by abrasive waterjet machining process has been carried out for a model part, and the optimum combination of the machining parameters has been specified based on the quality of cut surface.
