The current emphasis in the manufacturing industry on concurrent engineering will only cause this integration between the CAD model of products and its manufacturing inspection to grow in value.
Based on thirty-four interviews conducted within the Engineering, Drafting, Configuration Management, Airworthiness and Certification, Manufacturing, Inspection and Knowledge Management departments from two Canadian Aerospace companies, the objective of this paper is to report on the main barriers that need to be overcome in order to fully implement the MBD initiative.
In order to establish a base of knowledge to assist defect identification in real components inspections, the design and manufacturing of inspection samples including controlled defects, is a frequently used strategy.
Various applications include manufacturing, product inspection, field service and remote conferencing".
The coil manufacturing and inspection is shared between several European enterprises and consortiums.
Manufacturing and inspection plans (MIP) have been prepared to start real fabrication.
In order to study the performance and efficiency of CLE, case studies in three different levels of sub-activity, inter-activity and infra-activity loops in the fields of design, manufacturing and inspection are presented.
The problem of generating optimum tool-paths to perform specific actions (e.g. part manufacturing or inspection) on curved surface samples, through numerical control machinery or robotic manipulators, will be increasingly encountered.
A number of factors influence the fatigue life of a component in service, viz., (i) complex stress cycles, (ii) engineering design, (iii) manufacturing and inspection, (iv) service conditions and environment and (v) material of construction.
The smooth corner shapes constructed through these schemes can exploit the computational advantages of PH curves, including exact computation of arc length, rational offset curves, and real-time interpolator algorithms for motion control in manufacturing, robotics, inspection, and similar applications.
Their lately revision grounds on GeoSpelling, which is a univocal language for geometric product specification and verification and aims at providing a common understanding of geometric specifications in design, manufacturing, and inspection.
