“…Libraries of design features, and reuse and scalability of design instances found in such libraries, can greatly reduce the design cycle time. Such data can be compiled from archives and histories of objects modelled in CAD/CAM/CAE systems, as well as through automatic feature recognition and updating when new objects are developed [85].…”

Repeated, efficient, and extensive use of prototypes is a vital activity that can make the difference between successful and unsuccessful entry of new products into the competitive world market. In this respect, physical prototyping can prove to be very lengthy and expensive, especially if modifications resulting from design reviews involve tool redesign. The availability and affordability of advanced computer technology has paved the way for increasing utilization of prototypes that are digital and created in computer-based environments, i.e. they are virtual as opposed to being physical. The technology for using virtual prototypes was pioneered and adopted initially by large automotive and aerospace industries. Small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) in the manufacturing industry also need to take virtual prototyping (VP) technology more seriously in order to exploit the benefits. VP is becoming very advanced and may eventually dominate the product development process. However, physical prototypes will still be required for the near future, albeit less frequently. This paper presents a general survey of the available VP techniques and highlights some of the most important developments and research issues while providing sources for further reference. The purpose of the paper is to provide potential SME users with a broad picture of the field of VP and to identify issues and information relevant to the deployment and implementation of VP technology.

The current paper presents a methodology of archiving dies and molds CAD projects to quickly and easily find relevant parts from them based on clearly defined criteria. In a die and mold design workshop, existing projects from the archive are a very important source of ideas for ongoing or future projects, given the possibility to quickly access them. The proposed methodology is implemented in a distributed application. In principle the archiving process consists in filling a form with the project parameters. When engineers are searching for an archived project they inform the system about the characteristics they are looking for and the application returns the relevant projects and their location. The application is written in VB.NET and follows an object oriented approach. Being designed to connect to a database located on the network, it can be used by more companies in common or by the same company subsidiaries found in different locations.

“…Some researchers have tried to overcome these problems through geometry classification and capturing design intent [12,13,14,15,16]. Unfortunately, to apply their approaches, end-users have to have high-level understanding about engineering design, and to adapt their practices to the required knowledge representation schema.…”

Very often, outsourced components (known as standard components) are used for reducing design effort and product cost in mould design. They are usually manufactured by specialised suppliers. 3D CAD parametric models of these components will significantly reduce mould design lead-time and cost, and enhance design flexibility. This paper presents the detailed object definition, design, and implementation of a Standard Component Library within a mould design software package, QuickMould. With many components from different suppliers implemented, it is believed that the object design has generic nature and can be expanded to include most mechanical components in a collaborative environment. The advantages of this implementation are the compressed data structure, the ease of use and simple customisation.Keywords Standard components AE CAD AE Design automation AE Collaborative engineering AE ObjectOriented AE Plastic injection mould design Current industrial practiceMisumi is one of the most popular catalogues for mould design [24]. Components are classified in a family structure with categories, major types and subtypes. As Int J Adv Manuf Technol (2003) 22: 611-618
