Abstract
This paper presents a novel view of a software environment which has the potential to provide support to design for manufacture in line with the aims of global concurrent engineering. The arguments developed should have significant consequences for future CAE systems development and support the continuing globalisation in business development. The approach taken has at the centre of its philosophy the need to provide designers with high quality information on which to base their decisions. The concept of an information supported design for manufacture environment is not new, but a range of issues related to information interactions have yet to be resolved. This paper explores the use of information models to support functional and manufacturing interactions in design as well as the issues which are raised in attempting to support multiple views in design for manufacture. The design for manufacture of injection moulded products is used as the focus against which the ideas being explored in the paper are discussed
