Multi-Objective Tooling Optimization for Sustainable Manufacturing

Process planning is an activity for designers to evaluate manufacturability and manufacturing cost in the early design stage of mechanical parts production where important parameters that affect the machining process should be analyzed in detail. This paper deals with the systematic determination of the detailed methods involved in the manufacturing of parts from raw materials to a finished pro...

E-Waste-Concept, Problems and Solution Policies in India

Electronic  waste  or  E-waste  is  relatively  a  novel  addition  to  the  ever-growing  hazardous waste stream. It includes discarded electronic and electrical equipment. Developing countries face enormous challenges which are related to the generation and management of E-waste which are either internally generated or imported illegally; India is no exception. However, the existing managemen...

The rapid tooling testbed: a distributed design-for- manufacturing system

A new design-for-manufacturing method, called the geometric tailoring (GT), and the associated digital interface concept have been developed that enable the design activities to be separated from the manufacturing activities. Conditions for the successful application of this method are investigated. The GT method is demonstrated for rapid prototyping and rapid tooling technologies, where protot...

E-textile tooling: new tools—new culture?

Background: The maker movement in recent years has shed light on the blurring boundaries between crafts, creativity, and technology. Tools are a key part of the creation process, shaping both our process of making and the objects we make. They do so through their form and material influence, the matter they can handle, as well as the skills needed to utilize them. Often, tools also evoke stereo...
