Download or read book Feature Extraction from CAD Using Artificial Intelligence written by Vijay Saini and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of solid modeling has developed a variety of techniques for unambiguous representations of three-dimensional objects. Feature recognition is a sub-discipline of solid modeling that focuses on the design and implementation of algorithms for detecting manufacturing information from solid models produced by computer-aided design (CAD) systems. Examples of this manufacturing information include features such as holes, slots, pockets, steps and other shapes that can be created on modern computer numerically controlled machining systems. Feature recognition has been an interesting research area in solid modeling for a few decades and is considered to be a critical link for integration of CAD and CAM. It is a necessary component of an integrated Computer Aided Design/Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) environment to automatically recognize manufacturing features from a CAD data base or solid model. In this book a methodology for recognizing some of the machining features has been presented. The computational issues involved in building tractable and scalable solutions for automated feature recognition have also been addressed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the main theme of Improving Complex Systems Today implies, this book is intended to provide readers with a new perspective on concurrent engineering from the standpoint of systems engineering. It can serve as a versatile tool to help readers to navigate the ever-changing state of this particular field. The primary focus of concurrent engineering was, at first, on bringing downstream information as far upstream as possible by introducing parallel processing in order to reduce time to market and to prevent errors at a later stage which would sometimes cause irrevocable damage. Up to now, numerous new concepts, methodologies and tools have been developed, but over concurrent engineering’s 20-year history the situation has changed extensively. Now, industry has to work in the global marketplace and to cope with diversifying requirements and increasing complexities. Such globalization and diversification necessitate collaboration across different fields and across national boundaries. Thus, the new concurrent engineering calls for a systems approach to gain global market competitiveness. Improving Complex Systems Today provides a new insight into concurrent engineering today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Towards Balanced Automation The concept. Manufacturing industries worldwide are facing tough challenges as a consequence of the globalization of economy and the openness of the markets. Progress of the economic blocks such as the European Union, NAFTA, and MERCOSUR, and the global agreements such as GATT, in addition to their obvious economic and social consequences, provoke strong paradigm shifts in the way that the manufacturing systems are conceived and operate. To increase profitability and reduce the manufacturing costs, there is a recent tendency towards establishing partnership links among the involved industries, usually between big industries and the networks of components' suppliers. To benefit from the advances in technology, similar agreements are being established between industries and universities and research institutes. Such an open tete-cooperation network may be identified as an extended enterprise or a virtual enterprise. In fact, the manufacturing process is no more carried out by a single enterprise, rather each enterprise is just a node that adds some value (a step in the manufacturing chain) to the cooperation network of enterprises. The new trends create new scenarios and technological challenges, especially to the Small and Medium size Enterprises (SMEs) that clearly comprise the overwhelming majority of manufacturing enterprises worldwide. Under the classical scenarios, these SMEs would have had big difficulties to access or benefit from the state of the art technology, due to their limited human, financial, and material resources.

Download or read book STEP NC Based CAM Data Exchange written by Lampard Zhang and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many enterprises try to integrate product design, process planning, and manufacturing efficiently using systems based on computer-aided technologies (CAx), so that they, though maybe geographically separated, are able to collaborate with each other using the Internet. However, due to the lack of a standardlized form of data format, data exchange between CAx systems is still a critical research area. Data exchange between two computer-aided design (CAD) systems and data transferring from a CAD system to a computer-aided process planning (CAPP)/computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) system have been partially achieved through neutral files such as STandard for the Exchange of Product model data (STEP) or Initial Graphics Exchange Standard (IGES). However, no practical mechanism for data exchange between two CAM systems currently exists, and this gap in knowledge is the focus of this research. A CAM system contains two broad types of data: manufacturing information and geometry information. Manufacturing information contains parameters regards in the machining operations, including feed-rate, spindle speed and tooling data, etc., whereas geometry information is a machining feature that specifies the volume to be removed. It is not possible to use STEP or other currently used neutral file formats to represent or exchange CAM data because they only focus on the geometric information in a CAD system. STEP-compliant numerical control (STEP-NC) is the data model for the new generation of NC machining and it records both manufacturing information and geometry information in its machining-related entities. Therefore, this research considers and utilizes STEP-NC for CAM-CAM data exchange. The aim of this research is to investigate a method using STEP-NC as the neutral file format to realize data exchange between CAM systems. More specifically, this research enables two processes: (1) extracting information from a CAM system to populate a STEP-NC file; and (2) extracting information from a STEP-NC file to populate a model in a CAM system. Creo Parametric 2.0 is used as the CAM system and a plug-in named "CAM Data Exchanger" has been developed. The CAM Data Exchanger has two components: the Creo Parametric Data Processor and the STEP-NC Data Processor. The Creo Parametric Data Processor was developed using Visual Studio 2010.NET platform and was coded in C++. This component extracts data from Creo Parametric and populates data into the CAM system. The STEP-NC Data Processor was developed on the same platform but coded in C#. The STEP-NC Data Processor can read and write a STEP-NC Part 21 file. As a result, the CAM Data Exchanger is capable of exchanging data for some typical Creo Parametric features, e.g. workcell, NC-sequence, and design features. As the main entities encapsulating information in the CAM system, Creo Parametric features play an essential role and therefore they are focused in this research. Each of the Creo Parametric features should have a standardized STEP-NC entity as its counterpart. This research analyses and compares the data structures of some Creo Parametric features and the corresponding STEP-NC entities. Based on this analysis, the bi-directional mapping between the Creo Parametric features and the STEP-NC entities is established, which enables the CAM system to exchange data using a STEP-NC neutral file. The main contribution of the research is that it proposes a mechanism for data exchange between CAM tools and demonstrates the system development process via a Creo-based pilot.

Download or read book Advanced Design and Manufacturing Based on STEP written by Xun Xu and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-09-29 with total page 495 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Design and manufacturing is the essential element in any product development lifecycle. Industry vendors and users have been seeking a common language to be used for the entire product development lifecycle that can describe design, manufacturing and other data pertaining to the product. Many solutions were proposed, the most successful being the Stadndard for Exchange of Product model (STEP). STEP provides a mechanism that is capable of describing product data, independent from any particular system. The nature of this description makes it suitable not only for neutral file exchange, but also as a basis for implementing, sharing and archiving product databases. ISO 10303-AP203 is the first and perhaps the most successful AP developed to exchange design data between different CAD systems. Going from geometric data (as in AP203) to features (as in AP224) represents an important step towards having the right type of data in a STEP-based CAD/CAM system. Of particular significance is the publication of STEP-NC, as an extension of STEP to NC, utilising feature-based concepts for CNC machining purposes. The aim of this book is to provide a snapshot of the recent research outcomes and implementation cases in the field of design and manufacturing where STEP is used as the primary data representation protocol. The 20 chapters are contributed by authors from most of the top research teams in the world. These research teams are based in national research institutes, industries as well as universities.
