This paper describes computer-aided process planning for sheet metal cutting operations. The two designs to production stages that is highlighted are sheet metal processing and machining. There are four modules in this object's system. Virtual factory environments, feature-based designs, process planning, and process-based feature mapping. Feature-based design is utilized for the conception, modeling, and representation of the components for manufacturing applications. Whenever it involves sheet metal cutting operations in the manufacturing sector, computer-aided process planning, is extremely important for streamlining manufacturing procedures. The provides a general introduction to computer-aided process planning as it relates to sheet metal cutting, emphasizing its importance in boosting productivity, saving costs, and raising product quality. The main goal of computer-aided process planning for sheet metal cutting is to integrate computer technology, CAD/CAM systems, and sophisticated algorithms to automate and streamline the planning process. Based on design requirements, material characteristics, and production limitations, this method enables manufacturers to produce exact and ideal cutting plans. To create blanking and piercing holes, stamped or punched die are utilized in generative shape design; the generative computer-aided process planning system is created in C++ and used in various case studies presented in the present work. The application of computer-aided process planning for sheet metal cutting has several advantages, including greater output, less material waste, shortened lead times, and improved competitiveness in the industrial sector. The potential of computer-aided process planning to revolutionize sheet metal cutting operations, making them more efficient and cost-effective while ensuring high-quality final products is highlighted in the present research.
