Engineering Faculty Internship: Concurrent Feature-Based Design and Manufacturability Assessment of Castings

9412991布拉德利 这个项目的主要目标是在开发基于模型的知识系统，用于铸件设计和可制造性评估过程中与工业人员进行交互。 这项工作将在铸件智能设计和生产的框架内扩展和整合正在进行的应用和基础研究。 该项目的关键要素包括面向对象的铸造过程建模;基于特征的设计;过程控制和铸造设计的集成;以及铸造环境中的行业-大学互动。 通过集成设计和制造，基于模型的知识系统将促进并行工程，并导致铸造人员之间和铸造厂与客户之间更有效的互动。 这将有助于确保客户设计在昂贵的生产试验之前的可制造性，提高生产力和产品质量。

9412991 Bradley The principal objective of this project is to interact with industrial personnel during the development of a model-based knowledge system for casting design and manufacturability assessment. The work will extend and integrate ongoing applied and fundamental research within a framework for the intelligent design and production of castings. Key elements of the project include object-orientation to model the casting process; feature-based design; integration of process control and casting design; and industry-university interaction within the foundry environment. By integrating design and manufacturing, the model-based knowledge system will facilitate concurrent engineering and lead to more productive interaction among foundry personnel and between the foundry and its customers. This will help ensure the manufacturability of customer designs prior to costly production trials, improve productivity and product quality.
