This paper presents the development of an Intelligent Cavity Layout Design System (ICLDS) for multiple cavity injection moulds. The system is intended to assist mould designers in cavity layout design at concept design stage. The complexities and principles of cavity layout design as well as various dependencies in injection mould design are introduced. The knowledge in cavity layout design is ...

The development of an aircraft industrial system is a complex process which faces the challenge digital discontinuity in multidisciplinary engineering due to various interfaces between different tools, leading extra time and costs. This paper proposes ontology-based system, aiming at functionality integration design automation, by Models for Manufacturing methodology principles. A tool-agnostic...
