Engineering Faculty Internship: Towards Automation of Design and Manufacture of Dies

本实习项目的总体重点是开展 自动化设计和制造的研究 死了 特别是参数化设计和制造 将开发一个系统，作为输入的CAD模型， 冲压部件（例如，和汽车外板）， 设计其制造所需的模具部件。 模具的设计和制造是一个中心问题， 减少各种工业产品的客户时间概念 产品. 这项研究的结果预计将直接 影响美国制造业的竞争力 行业

The general focus of this internship project is to carry out research directed at automating the design and manufacture of dies. In particular, a parametric design and manufacturing system will be developed that takes as an input the CAD model of a stamped part (e.g., and automobile outer panel) and produces the design of die components required for its manufacture. The design and manufacture of dies is a problem central to reducing the concept to customer time for a variety of industrial products. The results of this research are expected to directly impact the competitiveness of United States manufacturing industries.
