Abstract: In achieving the CIM, Computer manufacturing and computer aided process planning seamlessly is one of the main problem. For generating product design CAD systems have more tendency keenly than on readily and visibly facilitating the development of a product. At present there is a noticeable require in the souk for computer aided design and manufacturing systems that effortlessly put together and assist design and manufacturing actions, this allows for design changes on the fly, exchange of number element information and competently accepting tool using extremely different machines and systems. Transfer of data between Computer aided design, computer aided manufacturing systems and computer aided process planning is the vital concern in the integration. In the integration how the part data exchange standard is used, we discussed in this paper, with this in the development of STEEP CAD/CAPP/CAM & CNC integrated system what is the role of standard for exchange of product data has been studied.
