Nowadays the world of manufacturing and production has been encountered with a constantly changing behavior’s of customers. Moreover in the global market, a company can survive if it has the efficient capabilities for rapid product development.These capabilities are known to be important and they mainly affect on the market penetration and cost reduction. One way to enhance such capabilities is to integrate the essential activities of a manufacturing with the help of information technology. In recent years, the researchers have proposed integration of the computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided manufacture (CAM) and computer-aided process planning (CAPP) as the main phases of product development lifecycle. These phases play an important role in the manufacturing environment and their integration will result in high-class production with minimum lead time. This paper focuses on the die design and process planning activities to produce the molds seamlessly . It studies the recent works on integration solutions and proposes an integration framework for glass bottle manufacturing companies.The paper considers the integration of the part design, macro process planning and the mold design activities. Moreover, the solution has used the ISO 10303 (STEP standard-International Standard for the Exchange of Product data). The novel aspects of the framework have been discussed through a case study. The case study highlights the integration of glass bottle design, process planning and bottle mold design to show the capabilities of the proposed framework.

Abstract Integrated Product Process Development tools which minimize downstream manufacturing risk at the earliest design stages and avoid costly Design-Build-Test cycles are essential to achieving product profitability and meeting market windows. This paper summarizes initial work performed towards the development of the Manufacturing Simulation Driver (MSD) system which will demonstrate the automatic generation and execution of distributed manufacturing simulations. These simulation models are produced by Computer Aided Process Planning (CAPP) software tools which reason about Computer Aided Design (CAD) product models and produce manufacturing “scripts” from a process and resource model of a manufacturing facility. This capability will enable emerging virtual enterprises conducting collaborative design and manufacturing to simulate and prove out the manufacturing cycle of a product prior to launching production ramp-up. 1

This paper concerns the development of flexible Computer-Aided Process Planning (CAPP). In the agile manufacturing which has been strongly promoted, manufacturing situation changes dynamically. Therefore, the CAPP method which can be adaptable to these dynamic changes is required. From this point of view, there has been the method which is mainly composed of the following three steps – (i) decomposing the Total Removal Volume (TRV), (ii) recomposing parts obtained by decomposition, and (iii) extracting an optimal set of parts. Steps (i) and (ii) require a high computational load. We propose solving this problem by focusing on concave parts of the TRV in decomposition. The proposed method is also enhanced toward the multiaxis milling processes. A case study demonstrates the feasibility and effectiveness of our proposal.

Machined powertrain components are a subset of machined parts that introduce unique and difficult problems to product design, process planning and manufacturing system design for the automotive industry. They are complex, high value-added components that must be produced at large volumes to stringent quality standards. Accordingly product development cycles are typically long. Integrated computer-aided approaches are thus desirable for reducing this time and helping manufacturing engineers design the best process and specify the optimal manufacturing system configuration. This paper presents a framework for integrating Computer-Aided Design (CAD), Computer-Aided Process Planning (CAPP) and Computer-Aided Manufacturing Systems Engineering (CAE-MS) for producing machined powertrain components. It describes the key components of this framework and in some cases details of the methods and technologies adopted for their realization. This solution is based upon a feature-centric philosophy. This stands in contrast to the product-variant approach that has been common practice in this industry.

Despite the fast development and the continuous evolution of computer-aided systems for product design, analysis and manufacturing, an unlinked gap appears between the interfaces of computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided process planning (CAPP) modules. Various CAPP systems have been built to address this problem and forward a “passage” to link the design phase and the planning of manufacturing processes; hence, providing precise technical instructions in the shop-floor. To support the manufacturing trends and contribute to the research efforts for the realization of precise, reliable and efficient process plans, a set of programmable support functions are presented in the form of an object-oriented software application that enable process planners to produce accurate process plans for aircraft parts and components.

This article is concerned with part representation and reasoning algorithms for automatic process planning in CADCAM (computer aided design and manufacture). Process planning involves the translation of a part description into instructions for a sequence of operations for the manufacture of the part. Part representations in CADCAM are reviewed, and a hierarchical representation is introduced which describes parts as the set-theoretic union of positive (protrusion) features, with the set-theoretic union of negative (depression) features subtracted. The model information hierarchy also incorporates topological relationships among features (adjacency, ownership and intersection), tolerances and links to a boundary representation (B-rep) geometric model. The hierarchical part representation is used as the basis for a reasoning scheme that uses topological relationships between features to restrict the search space of operation sequences. A recursive algorithm produces candidate operation sequences that are then ranked by applying manufacturing heuristics in a process called machining regularization. The representation approach is illustrated by an example, and possible extensions to the scheme are briefly discussed.

Process planning and system design for automotive powertrain machining represent a large investment in engineering upon which decisions are made for equipment acquisitions that typically falls in the range of hundreds of millions of dollars. The use of Computer-Aided Process Planning (CAPP) and system design (CASD) applications in the early stages of a new engine program can greatly increase the reliability and quality of the solutions upon which these decisions are made. They can also reduce the engineering time and the time to evaluate proposals from system integrators. This leads to shorter product launch windows giving manufacturers a competitive edge. This paper reports upon a case study conducted to evaluate the state of the art in of CAPP and CASD technology based on a typical configuration of commercial and evolving software applications. The results show maturity of the technology in most of the core technologies. Challenges exist in integrating these solutions into a manufacturer’s working environment.

Abstract Conceptual process planning is a key activity for designers to evaluate manufacturability and manufacturing cost and time in the early product development stage. Since major manufacturing cost is determined in early design, it is critical to be able to assess manufacturability and cost as early as possible in the design process. The integration between process planning and design is critical to enable these analyses. A literature review of the current status of Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Computer-Aided Process Planning (CAPP) software technologies reveals the lack of interface standards to enable the integration of these systems. In order to develop interface standards, information models have to be first developed to define the interfaces. An initial information model for conceptual process planning has been developed. This model includes an activity model and an object model for manufacturing process selection, resource selection, and cost and time estimation. The activity model sets the context in which the objects are used for information sharing and exchange. The object model defines classes used in conceptual process planning. The main purpose of developing this model is to initiate the development of standard interface specifications that are necessary for design and process planning integration.
