  • Existing CAD systems do not provide the advanced function for systematic checking of design and drafting errors in mechanical drawings. This paper describes a method for systematic checking in mechanical drawings. The checking items are deficiency and redundancy of dimensions, input-errors in dimension figures and symbols, etc. Checking for deficiency and redundancy of global dimensions has been performed applying Graph Theory. This system has been applied to several examples and we have confirmed the feasibility of this design checking method.

  • CAD/CAM의 초보지식을 부분적이나마 간략히 소개해 보았다. CAD/CAM에서 기하형상기술이 차지하는 비중과 이 기술의 한계점을 논의해 보았고, 설계에서 필수인 설계 지식이 CAD시스템에 융합되기 어려움을 실제의 예를들어 소개해 보았다. 마지막으로 현재의 CAD시스템이 기계전체 차원에서의 설계 도구이기보다 부품설계 차원에서의 도구임을 알아보았다. 현재까지 CAD시스 템이 설계과정에서 별로 창의력이 요구되지 않는, 그렇지만 많은 시간이 소요되는 도면 작업을 간편화하게 한 것으로도 CAD가 설계자동화에 큰 몫을 담당해 왔다고 볼 수 있다. 앞으로 미래의 CAD 방향은 인간의 창의력을 도와주는 곳으로 나가야함을 자명한 사실이라 본다.

  • T-splines are recently proposed mathematical tools for geometric modeling, which are generalizations of B-splines. Local refinement can be performed effectively using T-splines while it is not the case when B-splines or NURBS are used. Using T-splines, patches with unmatched boundaries can be combined easily without special techniques. In the present study, an analysis framework using T-splines is proposed. In this framework, T-splines are used both for description of geometries and for approximation of solution spaces. This analysis framework can be a basis of a CAD/CAE integrated approach. In this approach, CAD models are directly imported as the analysis models without additional finite element modeling. Some numerical examples are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the current analysis framework.

  • The computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) system was introduced to shorten the production time of all-ceramic restorations and the number of patient visits. Among these types of ceramic for dental CAD/CAM, they have been processed into inlay, onlay, and crown shapes using leucite-reinforced glass-ceramics to improve strength. The purpose of this study was to observe the mechanical properties and microstructure of leucite-reinforced glass-ceramics for dental CAD/CAM. Two types of leucite-reinforced glass-ceramic blocks (IPS Empress CAD, Rosetta BM) were prepared with diameter of 13 mm and thickness of 1 mm. Biaxial flexural testing was conducted using a piston-on-three-ball method at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min. Weibull statistics were used for the analysis of biaxial flexural strength. Fracture toughness was obtained using an indentation fracture method. Specimens were observed by field emission scanning electron microscopy to examine the microstructure of the leucite crystalline phase after acid etching with 0.5% hydrofluoric acid aqueous solution for 1 minute. The results of strength testing showed that IPS Empress CAD had a mean value of $158.1{\pm}8.6MPa$ and Rosetta BM of $172.3{\pm}8.3MPa$. The fracture toughness results showed that IPS Empress CAD had a mean value of $1.28{\pm}0.19MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$ and Rosetta BM of $1.38{\pm}0.12MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$. The Rosetta BM sample exhibited higher strength and fracture toughness. Moreover, the crystalline phase size and ratio were increased in the Rosetta BM sample. The above results are expected to elucidate the basic mechanical properties and crystal structure characteristics of IPS Empress CAD and Rosetta BM. Additionally, they will help develop leucite-reinforced glass-ceramic materials for CAD/CAM.

  • Survey has been made to evaluate technological level and to identify research issues in CAD/CAM area. It is found out that major users of the CAD/CAM system are in mechanical and electronics as well as garment industries. Their experience shows that the impact of the CAD/CAM introduction is not yet noticeable in drafting man power and cost reduction. It is identified that the low penetration rate of CAD/CAM technology in industry is due to the lack of locally developed CAD/CAM softwares.

  • This paper presents an automatic feature recognition system for recognizing and extracting feature information needed for the process planning input from a 3D CAD system. A given part is modeled by using the AutoCAD and feature information is automatically extracted from the AutoCAD database. The type of parts considered in this study is prismatic parts composed of faces perpendicular to the X, Y, Z axes and the types of features recognized by the proposed system are through steps, blind steps, through slots, blind slots, and pockets. Features are recognized by using the concept of convex points and concave points. Case studies are implemented to evaluate feasibilities of the function of the proposed system. The developed system is programmed by using Turbo Pascal on the IBM PC/AT on which the AutoCAD and the proposed system are implemented.

  • The synthesis of supplementary features of injection molded parts has been done empirically, since it requires profound knowledge about the features' moldability and causal effects on the properties of the part, which are not available to designers through current CAD systems. RIBBER is a knowledge module which contains knowledge to permit non-experts as well as mold design experts to generate acceptable supplementary features of injection molded parts. A knowledge-based CAD system is constructed by adding the knowledge module, RIBBER, for mold feature synthesis and appropriate CAE programs for mold design analysis to an existing geometric modeler in order to provide designers, at the initial design stage, with comprehensive process knowledge-based CAD system is a new tool which enables the concurrent design and CIM with integrated and balanced design decisions at the initial design stage of injection molding.

  • The macro-parametric approach, which is a method of CAD model exchange, has recently been proposed. CAD models can be exchanged in the form of a macro file, which is a sequence of modeling commands. As an event-driven commands set, the standard macro file can transfer design intents such as parameters, features and constraints. Moreover it is suitable for the network environment because the standard macro commands are open, explicit, and the data size is small. This paper introduces the concept of the macro-parametric method and proposes its representation using XML technology. Representing the macro-parametric data using XML allows managing vast amount of dynamic contents, Web-enabled distributed applications, and inherent characteristic of structure and validation.
