Abstract
The current research uses a computer-based approach to automatically d etermine the set of possible die-open directions for a given part. We have ascertained that certain features on a part, called concavity fea tures, restrict the directions in which a die may be opened. Therefore , the current research uses concavity features to determine the set of all possible die-open directions for a given part.
