Benefiting from advances in feature technology for design and manufacture can not be expected before a formal methodology is established. This paper makes attempt to establish a definition formalism of machining features in design for manufacturability from two aspects: formal definition and manufacturability analysis. Some definitions for machining feature based upon the selection and sequencing of material removal operations for component in accordance with the design geometry are presented and a framework of feature based design for manufacturability is outlined correspondingly. The proposed scheme contributes to several aspects of feature based CAD/CAM integration, especially to encourage potentially a more generic approach to the automation of design.

The adaptability of features definition to applications is an essential condition for implementing feature based design. This paper makes attempt to present a hierarchical definition structure of features. The proposed scheme divides feature definition into application level, form level and geometric level, and provides links between different levels with feature semantics interpretation and enhanced geometric face adjacent graph. respectively. The results not only enable feature definition to abate from the specific dependence and become more extensive, but also provide a theoretical foundation for establishing the concurrent feature based design process model.
