Manual assembly tasks require workers to precisely assemble parts in 3D space in parallel steps. Often, additional time pressure further increases the complexity of these parallel tasks (e.g. in adhesive bonding processes). The performance in parallel ...

CNC machining is the leading subtractive manufacturing technology. Although it is in use since decades, it is far from fully solved and still a rich source for challenging problems in geometric computing. We demonstrate this at hand of 5-axis machining ...

Manual assembly tasks require workers to precisely assemble parts in 3D space. Often additional time pressure increases the complexity of these tasks even further (e.g., adhesive bonding processes). Therefore, we investigate how Augmented Reality (AR) ...

We present Tsugite - an interactive system for designing and fabricating wood joints for frame structures. To design and manually craft such joints is difficult and time consuming. Our system facilitates the creation of custom joints by a modeling ...

High-speed machining HSM is an effective manufacturing process to produce parts. In HSM, it is required that the tool path should be smooth and the material removal rate should be constant. However, in geometry, it is nearly impossible to cover an ...

This article presents a detailed overview and the experimental comparison of 15 multi-objective design-space exploration (DSE) algorithms for high-level design. These algorithms are collected from recent literature and include heuristic, evolutionary, ...

Mesoscale lattice structures are a type of cellular structure with support element lengths on the order of magnitude of centimetres. These types of structures are engineered for high performance and are used particularly in industries where low weight ...

The rapid advances of information and manufacturing technologies have caused significant changes to the manufacturing environments in recent decades. The Internet has introduced e-manufacturing i.e. designed by anyone anywhere, manufactured by anyone ...

Although there's a widespread belief that the effective application of high-performance computing will dramatically increase industrial innovation, progress in this area has been slow and limited because of a combination of technical and economic ...

FDM is one of popular rapid prototyping methods. Build orientation of an object using FDM is usually determined by the object’s structure after considering build feasibility, build efficiency, and build accuracy. In this paper, a novel object build ...

STEP-NC is a newly developed international standard (ISO 14649), which extends the STandard for Exchange of Product model data (STEP) geometric data exchange standard into the manufacturing domain by defining a bidirectional interface between Computer-...

The research reported in this paper is a framework for adapting STandard for the Exchange of Products-(STEP-) compliant manufacturing information for a Computerised Numerical Control (CNC) machine. This STEP-compliant manufacturing information is ...

Problems of construction of intelligent components (ICs) as component parts of industrial business processes are considered. System intelligence is the way of using available knowledge by a system to solve problems facing the system. A program of an IC ...

A virtual collaborative engineering (VCE) capability for integrated product and process design (IPPD) has been demonstrated which allows distributed, real-time visualization and evaluation of design concepts, manufacturing processes, the total factory ...

Computers as integral systems components determine the quality of work of operators in industrial production. This paper contributes to improving the design of man-machine systems by proposing a formal aid to human software requirements definition and ...
