“…This is augmented with an association relationship knowledge base of how various elements could be configured to develop a single unit. A recent study by Peng et al [46] utilized the reasoning of geometric constraint to facilitate the assembly of elements selected by users to develop individual units for an approach that was more interactive.…”

“…The representation methods such as extensible markup language (XML) and virtual reality (VR) are to support fixture knowledge representation [8,46]. The XML technology is utilized as a representation tool for fixture knowledge, even though the virtual reality is used in the systemization of intelligent methods in the design of the fixture [6,51].…”

Fixture design is an important issue in the process of manufacturing. As a critical design activity process, automation in fixture design plays an integral role in linking computer aided designs and computer aided manufacturing. This paper carries out a literature review of computer aided fixture design (CAFD) developments using intelligent methods that have been commonly utilized in automation in the last two decades. The first part of this review considers the steps of fixture design along with the significant researches and requirements of fixtures over time. After that, the paper presents important and relevant research carried out in the field of CAFD using intelligent approaches and the working principles surrounding this issue. The following section concentrates on the details of case based reasoning (CBR) approach, the most successful approach in CAFD. The examination of this approach is carried out based on applications, stages of CBR based systems fixture design, working principles, and pertinent proposed approaches. Lastly, the present drawbacks of the current methods and shortfalls in research are identified for future studies.

Thoughtful consideration of products maintenance features early in design stage can reduce or eliminate maintenance costs, reduce downtime, and improve safety. As such, the effective collaboration of product designers and maintenance technicians throughout the product design process is becoming much more important for the most advanced competitiveness. To address this need, a visualization system that enables maintainability-related technicians cooperated with product designers in a networked manufacturing environment is proposed in this study. This paper presents a systematic approach to implementation of a Web-based visualization system by using virtual reality technology. The system aims at providing a simulated environment and concurrent engineering processes to facilitate communication, coordination, control, and integration of product maintainability validation and improvement activities. The result of this research will help increase product maintainability, reduce development cycle time and cost, and hence increase product marketability.

Through analyzing deficiencies of the traditional assembly process design, and applying Design For Assembly (DFA) and digital assembly technology, the functional structure of a three-dimensional assembly system is proposed and studied. Based on the secondary development technology of SolidWorks, the virtual assembly system for a typical printing press is designed. Applications of key technologies are explored, which include the capture and presentation of assembly modeling information, interactive assembly planning and simulation in a three-dimensional environment and on-site demo and training. The applications of the developed assembly system demonstrate that the secondary development based on SolidWorks can reduce both the development time and cost drastically, and the developed system offers guidance on both the assembly process design and the actual assembly.
