Abstract
Sheet metal parts are frequently designed without the systematic consideration of product development requirements like manufacturability, process planning, manufacturing optimization and production planning. Concurrent Product Design and Manufacturing means that the designer has to consider all the requirements of the product development process and incorporate these considerations into the product design. Decisions made at this point, concerning parameters, greatly affect the final cost, utility, and production time. Currently, there are many different systems and methods to assist the designer, ranging from simple design rule packages to very sophisticated expert systems. This paper shows how the developed system can assist the engineers in order to take into consideration important factors and facilitate the execution of some calculations during the early stages of drawing parts design. The tool output is a report which contains checked drawing process rules and recommendations and initial approximation reckonings to be added to the part plan.
