This paper discusses the conceptual structure and implementation of an integrated, computer-aided manufacturing system design environment, known as I/O-CAMSD (integrated and open computer-aided manufacturing system design). The work has provided valuable information to prove the feasibility of developing an integrated CAMSD framework to support the complete cycle of manufacturing operation—from...

background: the aim of this study was to determine the microtensile bond strength (μtbs) of ceramic and composite computer aided design‑computer aided manufacturing (cad‑cam) blocks bonded to dentin using different adhesive strategies. materials and methods: in this in vitro study, 30 crowns of sound freshly extracted human molars were sectioned horizontally 3 mm above the cementoenamel junctio...

A method is developed to automatically generate an assembling procedure for an assembly. In this work, an assembly is described by its components and their relationship in an assembly, especially the mating conditions. From the mating conditions of the components, an assembling procedure is generated in two steps. First, a hierarchical structure of the assembly is generated. Second, an assembly...

This paper presents the results of studying human designers using two forms of protocol analysis and examines the implications of the results on computer-aided architectural design systems. It uses and contrasts two types of protocol analyses: concurrent protocols and retrospective protocols. The preliminary results indicate that CAAD tools to be useful at the early stages of designing need to ...

At any given step in the architectural design process, a designer can usually only consider a small subset of the actions that can be applied to a design along with the consequences of those actions on the overall design process. Computer-based design tools can enable humans to operate more efficiently in this process. In the end, the design product (i.e., a built environment) is meant to be us...

operator's role in industrial control centers takes place in time, which is one of the most important determinants of whether an expected action is going to be successful or not. in certain situations, due to the complex nature of the work, the existing interfaces and already prepared procedures do not meet the dynamic requirements of operator's cognitive demands, making the control tasks unnec...

recently, as the result of the development in modern imaging, computerized three dimensional data processing and advanced engineering techniques, an prosthesis that match the skeletal anatomy can be accurately designed from computer aided design (cad) technique and the physical model of prosthesis or skull replica can be produced through rapid prototyping (rp), rapid tooling (rt), and computer ...
