An Engineering Services Framework for Additive Manufacturing
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Additive manufacturing is now mature and is becoming a mainstream production technique for various industries. It is important that engineering services organizations equip themselves to provide a new range of services in this sector. This paper presents an engineering process framework for evaluating and adopting additive manufacturing. It describes tools developed to improve engineering services for additive manufacturing. The paper also demonstrates the developed engineering process through a practical example of re-engineering a mechanical component, from conventional manufacturing to additive manufacturing along with the cost-benefit analysis.

متن کاملEngineering framework for enabling mass customisation of curvilinear panels with large surfaces by using pin-type tooling
Mass customisation is in contradiction with established manufacturing systems, which produce high quantities of identical parts. Even though products assembled according to individual customer demands are widely available in many areas, the shape of the individual parts of the assembled product is generally fixed. To enable mass customisation regarding the shape of these parts, new manufacturin...
متن کاملA Lean Manufacturing Roadmap for an Automotive Body Assembly Line within Axiomatic Design Framework
In this paper we are to present a practical application of Axiomatic Design (AD) methodology, as a roadmap to lean production, in redesigning a car body assembly line. Axiomatic Design theory provides a framework to simplify the whole problem. According to the AD principles, a hierarchical structure has been developed. The developed structure originated in lean manufacturing principles and exis...
