ELSEVIER PII: SO951-5240(97)00021-9 Development of a concurrent mold design system: a knowledge-based approach Rong-Shean Lee, Yuh-Min Chen* and Chang-Zou Lee Institute of Manufactuting Engineering, National Cheng Kung Univeesity, Tainan, Xwtrn, ROC This paper presents research that establishes a systematic methodology and knowledge base for an injection-molding mold design in a concurrent engineering environment. This methodology is, in general, analogous to the methods of design for manufacturing, and is, however, in collaboration with activities of molding product design and mold manufac- turing process planning. The practical goal of this research is twofold: to develop a mold- development process that facilitates concurrent engineering-based practice and to develop a knowledge-based design aid for injection-molding mold design that accommodates manufacturability concerns, as well as requirements of products. The research approach includes (i) process modeling and reengineering for concurrent mold design, (ii) identifica- tion of functional requirements with a computer-based system, (iii) system framework design, and (iv) system modeling and implementation. The framework supports concurrent engineering based mold design by providing advisory tools that are
