Reviewed and verified in this paper is a system which integrates functions of fixture design and optimization. The system was developed for machining of plastic parts. Due to specific characteristics of plastic parts, the system allows optimization of location of fixture elements for clamping and locating, using minimum deformation of plastic parts as the goal function. The paper present the basic steps of the methodology applied, reviews specific segments of the system, and illustrates its applicability on a study case featuring operations of drilling and milling of ABS parts.
The aim of this paper is to present an integrated design procedure for plastic part development and manufacture. Reverse engineering (RE), reengineering (ReE) and mold design have been incorporated to infuse agile characteristics in the proposed design and development process. The integration of RE and ReE presented in this paper accelerate the design process and provide information necessary for complete injection molding process of plastic parts. The purpose is to create a new object geometrically similar to the existing object. The new object must have better mechanical properties and more favorable geometry from the standpoint of mold ability. This paper also, describes a methodology for quality geometry check of the manufactured part that is need for verified the used integrated CAD/CAE technologies.
