Product Design and Conceptual Process Planning Integration By Using Machining Features
نویسنده
چکیده
The integration of conceptual process planning and early design stages is a vital activity in the modern industrial environment. Since major manufacturing time is committed in product specification and design, it is critical to be able to assess manufacturing as early as possible in the design process. In this research, an algorithm is developed to build an (Integration of Product Design and Process Planning) system called IPDPP to demonstrate the integration of conceptual process planning and design using manufacturing features. The developed system (IPDPP) validates the calculation of manufacturing time using feature technology. The application of the prototype system improved communication between design and process planning. The (IPDPP) system has been tested on product (Shaft 8E-200) in State Company for Electrical Industries. It resulted in reduction of manufacturing time.

Unified feature based integration of design and process planning
To realize concurrent engineering, different product development stages must be linked to each other on the basis of an integrated and consistent product information model. Features are used as information units for associating specific sets of geometric entities. In this paper, semantics of design and machining features are discussed. Furthermore, feature association and unification for inform...

Information modeling is critical to the integration of conceptual design and process planning. An information model for conceptual design is provided in this paper. Conceptual design is a key activity in early product development. It determines product functions, form, and the basic structure. Major manufacturing cost is committed in early conceptual design process. The model presented in this ...
متن کاملIntegrated Activities of Cad & Cam
A Commercial mechanical CAD/CAM packages provide a rather low level of automation of process planning tasks and a weak connection between their CAD and CAM/NC part programming modules. Features have primarily been used as geometry construction 'macros' without fully realizing their potential in supporting downstream applications, such as process planning. This paper demonstrates the useof featu...
متن کاملFeature-based generation of machining process plans for optimised parts manufacture
Efficacious integration of such CAx technologies as CAD, CAM and CAPP still remains a problem in engineering practice which constantly attracts research attention. Design by feature model is assumed as a main factor in the integration effort in various engineering and manufacturing domains. It refers principally to feature clustering and consequently operation sequencing in elaborated process p...
