Abstract
This paper describes the part design protocol (method of describing the geometry of a part), the part design editor, and the geometry library used in the Vertical Workstation (VWS) of the Automated Manufacturing Research Facility (AMRF) at the National Bureau of Standards. Chapter II describes the design protocol, Chapter III discusses the design editor, and Chapter IV discusses the geometry library. The descriptions pertain to the versions in use during September 1987.
