AB -  This paper deals with a method to produce a program in Numerical Control (NC) language from a part drawing in a CAD system. This method is applied to any piece with revolution axis that can be machined in a CNC - Lathe. The method was developed with the goal of being integrated in the control software of the flexible manufacturing system existent in the C1M centre of ISEP (Superior Institute of Engineering of Oporto). The proposed method involves three phases, which are presented and explained. Keywords: Process Plan, CAD/CAM (Computer (design and manufacturing aided by computer). Finally, the factory of the future, involving the CIM concept, will facilitate the simultaneous accomplishment of the automation of tasks and the centralised administration through automated and computerised systems. The possibility to use the new like technological Reengineering, Manufacturing, Engineering, solutions becomes a factor of essential success. So new concepts are being developed, Flexible Intelligent Manufacturing, Manufacturing, Lean Concurrent Design for Manufacturing, etc. The introduction of these new solutions provides concurrently an increase in profits and in productivity that assures the company of essential strategic positions for its survival. One of the main goals is the increase of flexibility in terms of
