Patent ID: 8155773

Claim:
A computer-implemented method for manufacturing at least one radiation filter for a radiation treatment machine using a computer-implemented system comprising a processor and a display operatively coupled to the processor, the method comprising: operating the processor to perform the following executing customer interface software for receiving at least one customer file for the at least one radiation filter to be manufactured, the at least one customer file including design data, executing tool path generation software for generating a tool path based on the design data for the at least one radiation filter to be manufactured, the tool path defining instructions to operate a tooling machine, and executing manufacture scheduling software to determine available tooling machines to manufacture the at least one radiation filter based on the generated tool path from a plurality of tooling machines, and select one of the available tooling machines based on availability for manufacture of the at least one radiation filter; and operating the display to display the plurality of tooling machines including the available tooling machines.
