Bearing Box Process Specification and Tooling Design

Validation of Product and Process Design by the Use of a New Rapid Tooling Process

We propose in the paper a process, based on the use of a high velocity, electric arc metal spray thoroughly atomized on a master model in order to make a shell. The mold is realized by placing the sprayed alloy into a frame and reinforcing it with appropriate material. The first part of the paper presents briefly the main rapid prototyping and tooling techniques used in industry. We then descri...

Process Flexibility: A Design View and Specification Schema

This paper proposes a framework of process flexibility based on a view of processes as design objects. It is represented using the function-behaviourstructure (FBS) ontology of designing. The paper shows how the FBS ontology allows extending and generalising recent work on flexibility in engineering design, and how it allows applying this work to processes. The resulting framework provides a co...
