Abstract

The Internet and World Wide Web (WWW) are evolving as an important communication technology. This paper aims to develop methodology for enabling better concurrent stamping part and die development, in the evolving Web technology. The characteristics of concurrent stamping part and die design are presented, and the necessity and feasibility of building Web-based concurrent stamping part and die development system is then discussed. Next, the overall architecture of Web-based concurrent stamping part and die design and development is established. The design services, which are the components of the Web server and play key roles in implementing the Web-based concurrent stamping part and die development, are then investigated in depth. Among the Web-based design services, the part shape analysis and feature-based cost evaluation are further illustrated in detail. While the system development approach including knowledge-based stamping part design and evaluation over Web is discussed, the cooperation and coordination between product designer and die designer are also presented with the illustration of a case study. The findings of this research allow the stamping part designer and the die designer to share product data, communicate with each other, and maintain operations consistency in the distributed cooperative sites on different product design and development platforms.
