چکیده

This paper presents a parametric design system for 3D tire mold production. Tire grooves commonly used in the current industry are classified according to their modeling procedures, and the design parameters for each groove type are characterized. The result serves as a foundation for standardization of the tire mold design. The presented system simplifies the construction of 3D groove surfaces by reducing the number of interactive modeling operations. The resultant surface model is parameterized and thus allows for rapid creation of other grooves with simple design tables. In addition, a set of geometric algorithms is proposed that first detects undesired groove geometries arising in the design process, and then corrects them automatically. In this manner 3D mold models are created with minimal user interactions. This work is implemented in an integrated CAD/CAM system for actual mold production. Test examples demonstrate that it provides an effective approach to reducing the time yet improving the quality of tire mold development. XXXX Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Parametric and Automatic Navigation Process for Electrode Design

In the mold design process the electrode is designed in advance for a contour requiring high accuracy or for a complex contour. The mold material, fixture specification, and the working ability of electrical discharge machine are all considered in the design process; otherwise, there will be inaccurate positioning and poor machining accuracy. Therefore, to increase mold machining accuracy, the ...
