چکیده
In order to remain competitive with respect to low-cost overseas markets, domestic moldmakers will have to increase the productivity of their engineers and maintain high quality standard, while dealing with the problem of an aging workforce. To increase the competitiveness of the European automotive industry, the concept of and Integrated Design and Engineering Environment (IDEE) has been developed within the 6th framework European project Pegasus Integrated engineering processing & materials technologies for the European sector. The IDEE consists of a distributed set of software applications able to accelerate the design process of plastic injection molds by means of process automation and multidisciplinary optimization techniques.
