Abstract

Manufacture of a product in a desired shape and size with specific characteristics and properties depend not only on the design of the product but also on the selection of the appropriate manufacturing process(es) that requires knowledge about various available alternatives. This paper presents a software for selecting an optimal non-traditional machining process(es). It has been developed using MATLAB, version (V7.8) release (R2009a), as programming language with the help of graphical user interface (GUI), visual aids, and fuzzy logic toolboxes. The selection procedures are based on elimination and ranking technique, and have been tested with a case study.
