Nowadays System-On-Chips (SoCs) have evolved considerably in term of performances, reliability and integration capacity. The last advantage has induced the growth of the number of cores or Intellectual Properties (IPs) in a same chip.…
In CNC manufacturing,there often arises the need to create G-Code programs which require the calculation of discrete x-y coordinate pairs(2D).An example of this situation is when the programmer needs to create a program to machine a…
Traditionally, computer programming has been the prerogative of professional developers using textual programming languages such as C, Java, or Python. Low-code programming promises an alternative: letting citizen developers create programs…
We describe various issues caused by the lack of round-to-nearest mode in the \textit{gcc} compiler implementation of the fixed-point arithmetic data types and operations. We demonstrate that round-to-nearest is not performed in the…
In the manufacturing industry, it is very important to keep machines and processes running smoothly and without unexpected problems. One of the most common tools used to check if everything is working properly is called Statistical Process…
Affordable desktop CNC routers are common in education, prototyping, and makerspaces, but most lack a rotary axis, limiting fabrication of rotationally symmetric or multi-sided parts. Existing solutions often require hardware retrofits,…
Mechanical design and manufacturing workflows conventionally begin with conceptual design, followed by the creation of a computer-aided design (CAD) model and fabrication through material-extrusion (MEX) printing. This process requires…
As high-performance computing systems scale in size and computational power, the danger of silent errors, i.e., errors that can bypass hardware detection mechanisms and impact application state, grows dramatically. Consequently,…
The paper describes a new CNC control unit for machining centres with learning ability and automatic intelligent generating of NC programs on the bases of a neural network, which is built-in into a CNC unit as special device. The device…
Best practices in programming need to be emphasized in a CS1 course as bad student habits persist if not reinforced well. The C++ programming language, although a relatively old language, has been regularly updated with new versions since…
In manufacture, steel and other metals are mainly cut and shaped during the fabrication process by computer numerical control (CNC) machines. To keep high productivity and efficiency of the fabrication process, engineers need to monitor the…
Using Large Language Models for complex mathematical reasoning is difficult, primarily due to the complexity of multi-step reasoning. The main challenges of this process include (1) selecting critical intermediate results to advance the…
Many CAD learning pipelines discretize Boundary Representations (B-Reps) into triangle meshes, discarding analytic surface structure and topological adjacency and thereby weakening consistent instance-level analysis. We present STEP-Parts,…
With the development of CNC machine tools toward high speed and high precision, the traditional static design methods can hardly meet the demand. Hence, in this paper, the dynamics matching design methods of existing CNC machine tool feed…
We propose a novel method for automatic program synthesis. P-Tree Programming represents the program search space through a single probabilistic prototype tree. From this prototype tree we form program instances which we evaluate on a given…
In this paper, we present a concurrent and scalable trajectory optimization method to improve the quality of robot-assisted manufacturing. Our method simultaneously optimizes tool orientations, kinematic redundancy, and waypoint timing on…
Since high data volume and complex data formats delivered in modern high-end production environments go beyond the scope of classical process control systems, more advanced tools involving machine learning are required to reliably recognize…
Comprehensive specifications are essential for various activities across the entire validation continuum for system-on-chip (SoC) designs. However, specifications are often ambiguous, incomplete, or even contain inconsistencies or errors.…
Accelerometer-based process monitoring is widely deployed in modern machining systems. When mounted on moving machine components, such sensors implicitly capture kinematic information related to machine motion and tool trajectories. If this…
Whilst there have been great advances in HPC hardware and software in recent years, the languages and models that we use to program these machines have remained much more static. This is not from a lack of effort, but instead by virtue of…
