Abstract
Globalization leads to increasing competition for companies. Next to this, customer seek for individual products, leading to a boost in costs for product development. We try to tackle both aspects in our current research. We are trying to develop a solution for the automatic extraction of routings from a three-dimensional product description. This leads to two advantages. First, costs for product development are decreasing because labour intensive planning will be eliminated. Second, the time between customer inquiry and offer can be reduced, which is an additional advantage to get ahead of competition. To develop such a solution, different aspects have to be considered. This paper deals with the product representation, which should allow us to automatically assign process steps to design-elements.
Feature-based design is a very promising concept for optimizing the entire product development by enhancing the product model with significant information. An approach for its implementation is the ISO-standard 10303 “Standard for the Exchange of Product model data”. ISO-10303 provides a formal reference model for a consistent, standardized and complete product description which is fundamentally required for automated process planning.
This paper summarizes the reasons for choosing the formally specified feature objects of the ISO-10303 application protocol 224 for 3D-visualization and how we implemented the concept “geometry from feature”. Therefore we have developed a modular “viewer-concept” for connecting suitable geometric modeling cores like ACIS with our AP 224 feature library which will be presented in the paper. Additionally, a short overview of automated process planning will be given.
