WILL MODEL-BASED DEFINITION ACCELERATE THE INSPECTION PHASE IN THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS?

Abstract Model-Based Definition provides several benefits for communicating between engineering and other downstream stakeholders. Particularly, semantic PMI information included in 3D models both CAM programming inspection phases. However, the efficiency of generating CAM- CAI codes automatically according to varies due compatibility different systems. This paper focuses on experiment that we made inspecting three parts with Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM). We compared four methods found depends serial size parts. The completely automatic CAI-programming method does not necessarily produce most effective code competent human programmer. is notable, especially large series achieved cumulative time savings each part. With small series, fully human-assisted PMIfp provide significant process work.
