Abstract:In these days, modular design of a product is becoming important even for environmental conscious design in order to improve, e. g., reusability, disassemblability, and recyclability. In order to derive a feasible module structure, not only environmental aspects but also geometric information bears important roles. This paper presents a modular design methodology for life cycle engineering that proposes module structure by using information on geometry and product life cycle. The case study of an inkjet printe… Show more
