Abstract
While concurrent engineering has become an accepted philosophy, its implementation leads to a need for radically different software support tools than those that are currently in the marketplace. This paper discusses the requirements for such tools, with emphasis on providing support in design for manufacture. The paper highlights recent progress in providing data driven design for manufacture support for injection moulded products based on the use of both Product and Manufacturing Models. This concept is then used to explore ideas which have the potential to provide design support where multiple manufacturing processes impinge on design decisions. The use of product range models, multiple view representations of product data and data interpretation mechanisms to release manufacturing information are discussed.
