Neural networks were used to estimate the cost of jet engine components, specifically shafts and cases. The neural network process was compared with results produced by the current conventional cost estimation software and linear regression methods. Due to the complex nature of the parts and the limited amount of information available, data expansion techniques such as doubling-data and data-cr...

Abstract Additive manufacturing is a layer-by-layer strategy enabling the advanced design and fabrication of complex 3D objects structures, overcoming geometry limitations reducing waste production compared to conventional technologies. Among various additive technologies, digital light processing (DLP), an technology used print photopolymer parts, using projected source cure entire layer at on...

High cost and low efficiency problem has been bothering NC teaching.To lower the cost of practical teaching of higher speed numerical control manufacturing along with improvement in processing efficiency, a multi-objective scheme for optimization of process parameters has been developed here. Various constraint conditions were set and a complex algorithm was employed for optimization. To achiev...

Although statistical quality control is already largely automated for the gathering and processing of data, improperly implemented quality control can yield erroneous results, which may go unnoticed indefinitely in a manufacturing environment. Quality control, which combines decisions and interpretations based on analytical data, on heuristics, and on user judgment, is suited for rule based exp...
