Abstract Design-for-manufacturing (DFM) concepts have traditionally focused on design
simplification; this is highly effective for relatively simple, mass-produced products, but tends …

The early conceptual design phase often focuses on functional requirements, with limited
consideration of the manufacturing processes needed to turn design engineers' conceptual …

Multi-piece molding technology is an important tool in producing complex-shaped parts that
cannot be made by traditional two-piece molds. However, designing multi-piece molds is …

In the manufacturability-driven design (MDD) perspective, manufacturability of the product or
system is the most important of the design requirements. In addition to being able to ensure …

Traditional design-for-manufacturability (DFM) strategies focus on efficiency and design
simplification and tend to be too restrictive for optimization-based design methods; recent …

simplification; this is highly effective for relatively simple, mass-produced products, but tends …

It is widely acknowledged that decisions made in the early design stages have a greater
influence on the final product than those made in the later stages. In a conventional design …

Abstract Design changes and subsequent verifications happen frequently during the
development stages for a complex product. These iterative loops between design …

This article describes automated identification, classification, division and determination of
release direction of complex undercut features of die-cast parts. The proposed system uses …
