The invention discloses an identification method for three-dimensional computer-aided design (CAD) model intersection manufacture characteristics. The identification method for the three-dimensional CAD model intersection manufacture characteristics is used for solving the technical problem that a combinatorial explosion exists in an existing part manufacturability automatic analysis method in a process that an optional solution is generated. According to the technical scheme of the identification method for the three-dimensional CAD model intersection manufacture characteristics, a three-dimensional CAD model expressed by model based definition (MBD) is used as an information input source, firstly a reachability analysis is conducted on each machined face through an illumination-type rule, and the axial space of a feasible cutter of each machined face is ascertained; then with the axial space of the feasible cutter of each machined face as a restraint, a machined face clustering algorithm merging a manufacture semanteme is adopted to construct each of machined area subgraphs; and finally, with each machined area subgraph as a manufacture characteristic trace which is combined together with dimensioning information, the machined area subgraphs are optimized and merged, so that identification of the manufacture characteristics is achieved. According to the identification method for the three-dimensional CAD model intersection manufacture characteristics, the manufacturability analysis is merged in the identification process of the intersection manufacture characteristics, so that the machined faces are identical in the accuracy level. In the characteristic identification process, the influence, on the characteristic identification, of the design semanteme is fully considered and practicality is improved.
