This paper deals with an application on the mould machining of air intake hose product by using 3-dimensional parametric modeling techniques. The detailed domain is the 3-dimensional product with similar shapes and different sizes which needs too much working time for preparation of modeling or machining due to making a trial and errors repeatedly. Decision making rules for selection of modeling order and technique, and for calculation of cutting conditions, and for determination of sequence and method concerning machining operations are required by interview of expert engineers in the field. The developed expert system of modeling and machining is programmed by using a user programming language under the CAD/CAM software of the Personal Designer. The developed system that aids a mould engineer who is working in the modeling and machining section which deal with air intake hose product provides strong and useful capabilities.

In this study, we implement the prototype modeler with non-manifold data structure using Open Inventor. In these days, Open Inventor is a popular tool for computer graphics applications, even though Open Inventor could not store topological information including a non-manifold data structure which can represent an incomplete three dimensional shape such as a wireframe and a dangling surface during designing. Using Open Inventor, our modeler can handle a non-manifold model whose data structure is based on the radial edge data structure. A model editor is also implemented as an application which can construct a non-manifold model from two dimensional editing.

This paper presents the basic concept of a Solid Freeform Fabrication System using a rapid prototyping procedure. The system can fabricate a ceramic model by laser cutting, accumulating, laminating and sintering of each slice. The system is mainly equipped with a laser apparatus, an x-y table, a material transfer system, and an electric oven. The system could fabricate a small object with smooth surface within comparatively short period of time. The system has also shown its effectiveness in terms of the direct application of the object without the secondary mechanical process. The fabricated sample could directly be applied and used to fairly wide practical areas.

This study describes a construction procedure of 3D virtual space using the NGIS data and its application to simulation. 3D space topography is modeled by using DEM consisted with triangular regular network. The elevations of nodal points of DEM are calculated through the interpolation with contour line and elevation points from the NGIS. Also, data for 2D roads and their environments, such as trees, lamps, and traffic signals, were extracted from the NGIS and projected on the DEM surfaces to get 3D virtual space. To give a reality to 3D virtual space and accelerate its graphic speed, data were converted into the directX format. It is believed that the virtual space constructed in this work can be applicable to the ubiqutous because DEM data can be converted to the AutoCAD format and ASCII code.

The Cut off-type progressive die for U-bending production part is a very specific division. This study reveals the sheet metal forming process with multi-forming die by Center Carrier type feeding system. Through the FEM simulation by DEFORM, it was accepted to u-bending process as the first performance to design of strip process layout. The next process of die development was studied according to sequence of die development, i.e. die structure, machining condition for die making, die materials, heat treatment of die components, know-how and so on. The feature of this study is the die development of scrapless progressive die of multi-stage through the Modeling on the I-DEAS program, components drawing on the Auto-Lisp, CAD/CAM application, ordinary machine tool operating and revision by tryout.

In these days many large scale plants are attempting to use the Virtual Reality technology in the process analysis. Their goal is to reduce the development time by more effective information management as Simultaneous Engineering point of view, and by connecting the CAD datum and all kinds of products information. Generally, it is taken for granted that when a plant is equipped with a Virtual Reality technology, they are able to review the design and analyze the engineering performance of the product before actually building it, so that their goal to reduce costs and enhance the initial quality can be achieved. [1][2] In this paper we will look into the application the virtual reality technology Hadong fossil power plant. And we will also define the concepts of virtual plant by summarizing requirements and thoughts from the people who are in working in the actual site.

Korea Railroad Research Institute(KRRI) have been developing Korean Tilting Train eXpress(TTX) with the service speed of 180km/h as the R&D project supporting by Korea government. The core of research is the development of the tilting bogie using the domestic tilting technologies. We developed the 3D-CAD prototype of tiling bogie model. In this paper we attempted to evaluate the structural strength of bogie frame using the Finite Element Method. Finally, we . would like to propose the application of the modifying part to the detail design.

A new PCD (Pitch Circle Diameter) adjustment system has been designed in this study. Traditional system requires repetitive same works in changing automobile tires. The system proposed in this study requires just one simultaneous work to finish the job. We designed the system using Solidworks CAD software. We further investigate the jobs for both cases through work factor method. Based on careful clarification of the job, work factor units were assigned to each work factor. Even if further analysis should be processed for actual field application, the mechanism proposed in this study may provide good reference for practical usage.

The objective of this work is to integrate reliability analysis into topology optimization problems. We introduce the reliability constraint in the topology optimization formulation, and the new model is called Reliability-Based Topology Optimization (RBTO). The application of the RBTO model gives a different topology relative to the classical topology optimization that should be deterministic. When comparing the structures resulting from the deterministic topology optimization and from the RBTO model, the RBTO model yields structures that are more reliable than the deterministic ones (for the same weight). Several applications show the importance of this integration.

Virtual Manufacturing is a technology facilitating effective development and agile production of products via computer models representing physical and logical schema and the behavior of the real manufacturing systems including manufacturing resources, environments and products. For the successful application of this technology, a virtual factory as a well-designed and integrated environment is essential. To construct a virtual factory in effective and concurrent manners, a supporting information infrastructure for managing diverse models of virtual factory is very important. In this paper, we constructed the web-based information management system for many engineering activities related with a virtual factory. Using this system, users can handle all information and diverse digital files including attributes, parameters, 3-D CAD files, simulation models, and etc. of a cell, line and whole factory. We expect that this information management system for a virtual factory helps us achieve great time savings and advances in accuracy for construction and maintenance activities of virtual factories.
