Abstract. Availability and accessibility of proper and correct information is a precondition nowadays for launching a successful product to the world market. Every piece of information will help in creating a new and improved product at any segment of its life cycle. If it is a computer aided manufacturing, then in the phase of data transfer from the geometrical model to the production model, errors should be minimized. A large number of standards, protocols and scripts for the software data exchange confirm how important this area is. On the other hand, the end user is always able to look for better and more favorable solutions, with the least possibility for errors, in our case, in data transfer. Thus all the input requirements of the designer are met, giving the product the desired geometry and quality. That is only a precondition for its further development and implementation in the complex technical systems, so that it would pass into the next phase of its life cycle, which is its actual service and fulfillment of end users’ requirements.
Key Words: CAD CAM Technology, Data Transfer, STEP Standard.
CAD - CAM PRENOS PODATAKA KAO
DEO ŽIVOTNOG VEKA PROIZVODA
Dostupnost i raspoloživost pravim i tačnim informacijama danas predstavlja preduslov za lansiranje uspešnog proizvoda na svetsko tržište. Svaka od tih informacija doprineće kreiranju novog i poboljšanog proizvoda u bilo kom segmentu njegovog životnog veka. Ukoliko se radi o računarski podržanoj proizvodnji onda u fazi prenosa podataka sa geometrijskog modela na model izrade prilike za grešku treba svesti na minimum. Veliki broj standarda, protokola i zapisa za međusobnu softversku razmenu podataka danas samo potvrđuje kolika se pažnja poklanja ovoj oblasti. S druge strane, krajnji korisnik je uvek u prilici da traži bolja i povoljnija rešenja, sa što manje prilika za grešku, za prenos podataka u konkretnom slučaju. Time svi ulazni zahtevi projektanta bivaju  ispunjeni čime proizvod dobija željenu geometriju i kvalitet. To je samo preduslov za njegovu dalju nadogradnju i implementaciju u složene tehničke sisteme da bi nakon toga prešao u narednu fazu svog životnog veka, odnosno eksploataciju i ispunjavnje zahteva kranjeg korisnika.
