  • A novel approach to DFM in toolmaking : a case study
    Valentinčič, Joško ; Brissaud, Daniel ; Junkar, Mihael
    A novel approach to avoid the knowledge gap between design and production is presented in this paper. The main idea is to build a system in the form of a computer program whose core is the ... manufacturing expert systems to be used by the product designer. The system reveals critical features of the designed product from the manufacturing point of view and points them out to the product designer. The product designer can decide whether to change the critical part of the product or not. The system presented in this paper is prepared for the toolmaking, where a lot of relatively cheap products are madeby one relatively expensive tool. Since the shape of the cavity in the tool is the negative shape of the product, small changes in the product designcan significantly reduce the manufacturing costs of the tool.
