Automated recognition of features from CAD models has been attempted for a wide range of application domains in mechanical engineering. However, the absence of a clear mathematical formalism for the problem has made it difficult to develop a general approach—and thus most of these methods are limited in scope. In this paper, we develop a formalization of the problem of recognizing a class of machinable features expressed as MRSEVS (a PDES/STEP library of machining features) [11], and an algorithm for solving this problem. Some of the characteristics of this approach are
