The chapter deals with the problems of machine tool computer-aided design (CAD) based on the methods and means of parameterization for the main components of metal-cutting machine and equipment in the CAD “APM WinMachine” environment. The models and algorithms of parametric modeling for the configurations of machine tool milling and multioperational type by the criteria of maximum rigidity and minimum reduced load on the front spindle support are developed. The express procedure for generating the transverse layout of the main drive in the multivariate design mode has been implemented.
