IMPLEMENTING DESIGN FOR MANUFACTURE RULES IN POCKET FEATURES
Masud PARVEZ, A. S. M. HOQUE, Tamas SZECSI
Abstract: Design for manufacture (DFM) is the practice of designing products with manufacturing issues in mind into an intelligent system, which translates 3D solid models into manufacturable features. To apply design for manufacture rules (guidelines), they have to be systematized and organized into a hierarchical rule system. Rules at the higher level of the hierarchical system are applied to more generic manufacturing features, and specific rules are applied to more detailed features which enable to minimize the number of rules and repetition. Violation of the design for manufacture rules in the features, their characteristics and manufacturing capabilities are examined in the system. Manufacturability analysis (such as production type, materials, tolerances, surface finish, feature characteristics and accessibility) is also taken into consideration.
Key words: design for manufacture (DFM), computer aided design (CAD), design, machining features & manufacturing features.
