This research project concerns some fundamental theoretical work in engineering design and manufacturing. A mathematical structure for the design space for homogeneous geometric objects will be defined and studied. Using this work, manufacturability will be examined and the classes of geometric objects that can be manufactured or that can be approximated by manufacturable artifacts will be characterized for material removal processes.If successful, this research will provide a sound foundation for design optimization and design spate exploration. It may lead to improved Computer Aided Design systems and better selections of algorithms for design optimization and design space exploration. A further result will be a complexity concept for manufacturing as well as a rigorous measure of agility. Finally, technology management will benefit from better information to use in making decisions about particular pieces of manufacturing equipment and the choice of whether to invest in dedicated or flexible machines.

本课题涉及工程设计与制造中的一些基础理论工作。本文将定义和研究均匀几何对象的设计空间的数学结构。利用这项工作，可制造性将被检查，可制造或可由可制造工件近似的几何物体的类别将被表征为材料去除过程。如果研究成功，将为设计优化和设计集群探索提供良好的基础。这可能会导致改进的计算机辅助设计系统和更好的算法选择设计优化和设计空间探索。进一步的结果将是制造的复杂性概念以及敏捷性的严格度量。最后，技术管理将从更好的信息中受益，这些信息将用于决策特定的制造设备，以及选择是投资于专用机器还是灵活机器。
