| Summary: | 博士 === 中原大學 === 機械工程研究所 === 98 === The diverse product requirements and just-in-time production are challenges in the injection mold industry today. The sequential process in mold development does not guarantee timely success any more. Therefore, this study proposes a web-based and collaborative configuration for conceptual mold design with knowledge management. This system integrated CAD and web-based management seamlessly by the dedicated application programming interface (API) functions. Based on the flow of navigating design, the feature-oriented approaches and concept of skeleton design are implemented to provide a standardized, collaborative, intellectualized, and customized platform. Not only does the system prevent probable engineering mistakes and accumulates valuable knowledge, but it also reuses the intact feature information from conceptual to detailed mold design and efficiently shortens detailed mold design processes by the deployment of collaborative design. The results show significant time savings over conventional mold design processes by 50% in practical case studies.
