“…Each CAx system has its strengths in different areas and manufacturing technologies and therefore one single CAx system is not enough to handle every possible manufacturing technology and process [7]. This in turn leads to a need for the usage of different data formats to exchange the data between the used systems.…”

“…These systems can include computer-aided design, manufacturing and process planning among other functionality [11]. Each CAx system has its specific advantages for the respective application and companies have built process chains around these strengths [7]. Hence, an approach to model adaptive process chains without breaking established manufacturing processes needs to support the scenario of integrating the existing CAx environment.…”

In many industries the focus in CAx based manufacturing has changed from fixed process chains to ones which can adapt to dynamic inputs. This way process chains can take measurement data into account to produce optimal results. Unfortunately, existing approaches do not integrate well with the existing CAx systems since they do not ensure that existing processes will be kept unchanged. This restriction leads to a low adaption rate in some industries. Especially in the aerospace industry every change in the manufacturing processes will result in high costs. In this paper it is shown that an extended function block approach can be integrated with existing CAx systems while allowing the modeling and controlling of adaptive process chains with reduced data loss at the same time. In order to achieve this goal, data port manifests are introduced which announce supported data formats and features of the corresponding function block. This extension reduces information loss at system interfaces and helps to ensure that required data will be transferred between function blocks. A case study will show how this extension can be used in a common CAx system

“…The resources in the context of cloud manufacturing including physical categories and functional categories (including software), and after IoDR and package, all backstage resources are transferred into service providers for related clients or hosts in the cloud scheme. On the idea that applications in an information intensive manufacturing environment can be organized in a service oriented manner, Brecher [9][10] developed a module-based and con gurable platform for interoperable CAD-CAM-CNC planning to combat the problems of software in homogeneity along CAD-CAM-CNC chain. Velde [11] reported a plug-and-play framework for the construction of modular simulation software to achieve a runtime con guration integration environment for engineering simulations.…”

Most current part libraries are created and deployed in speci c usage environments or CAD platforms, which inevitably brings obstacles in the share and exchange for part information. To reduce repeated development and provide a uniform interface for designers in different sites, a 3D part library in cloud scheme is presented in this paper. Host programs with predetermined speci cation can access the part data through an adapter according to their customized requests with uniform interfaces, which constructs a ubiquitous service. To realize host independence, the part models are created in a native ACIS modeler, and then they are converted into 3D les in various formats for practical needs, nally these les are imported into CAD systems or other platforms in real designs. The whole framework can be divided into three components, namely, PLS(Part Library Service) provider, PLS adapters and hosts. PLS provider is the kernel of 3D data access service in cloud scheme, while PLS adapters serve as the bridges that connect PLS provider and hosts, and the PLS can be grafted on various applications including current mainstream CAD systems as a plug-in module or run on the websites or even mobile terminals. The PLS provider is deployed and maintained on cloud and users can acquire remote part information within a local ongoing project. In the detailed construction of this part library, diversiform knowledge for part parameters and structures is implanted to de ne the geometry and rule constraints in the 3D modeling, with which the backstage has the ability of conveniently editing the information in the part library for better upgrade and contrapuntally services. The concept has been implemented within a PaaS framework to provide the ubiquitous 3D part data access, which has been successfully applied in a large number of manufacturing enterprises, and accumulates considerable practical cases.

“…Throughout the design process and later for manufacturing it is necessary to convey and transport information on design decisions and other specifications. Brecher et al [38] provide an analysis of the STEP [8] and STEP-NC [2] file formats. This analysis is used to propose extensions necessary for the use in an interconnected CAD-CAM-NC (CAx) platform.…”

Cloud Manufacturing (CM) is the concept of using manufacturing resources in a service-oriented way over the Internet. Recent developments in Additive Manufacturing (AM) are making it possible to utilise resources ad-hoc as replacements for traditional manufacturing resources in case of spontaneous problems in the established manufacturing processes. In order to be of use in these scenarios, the AM resources must adhere to a strict principle of transparency and service composition in adherence to the Cloud Computing (CC) paradigm. With this review, we provide an overview of CM, AM and relevant domains as well as presenting the historical development of scientific research in these fields, from 2002 to 2016. Part of this work is also a meta-review on the domain to further detail its development and structure.
