Abstract

The synthesis of supplementary features of injection molded parts has been done empirically, since it requires profound knowledge about the features' moldability and causal effects on the properties of the part, which are not available to designers through current CAD systems. RIBBER is a knowledge module which contains knowledge to permit non-experts as well as mold design experts to generate acceptable supplementary features of injection molded parts. A knowledge-based CAD system is constructed by adding the knowledge module, RIBBER, for mold feature synthesis and appropriate CAE programs for mold design analysis to an existing geometric modeler in order to provide designers, at the initial design stage, with comprehensive process knowledge-based CAD system is a new tool which enables the concurrent design and CIM with integrated and balanced design decisions at the initial design stage of injection molding.

본 연구에서는 특징형상기반 CAD 시스템의 기계가공을 고려한 기하학적 모델 링 기능과 부형상의 합성과 해석을 위한 사출성형에 관한 광범위한 지식을 연계, 종합 한 형태의 지식형 CAD 시스템을 제안하였다.
