This paper describes a knowledge-based parametric design system for drawing dies which requires only a minimum set of parameters to be set before it is able to complete the design of the main components of a die, such as upper dies, lower dies, and blank holders. This minimum set of parameters includes blank sizes, die faces, punch open lines, drawing strokes , and press data. This design system implemented on top of the Pro/E CAD software consists of a drawing die knowledge base, a subcomponent inferencer , a dimension calculator , a subcomponent generator, a system coordinator, and a user interface. We use the design of drawing dies for inner wheel house as a concrete example to show that our system can greatly improve the design quality while reducing the development time and cost.

Stamping dies 1 Introduction Press parts are widely used in products of high complexity and precision, such as vehicles, aircraft, and 3C (computer,communication, and consumer electronic) related products.Therefore, the press process has been identified as one of the most important manufacturing processes. Drawing, trimming, and bending dies are used throughout the entire press process for various purposes [1]. Designing press dies s a vital step in the development of press processes .Besides the highly complex die structures, interferences among various design parameters make the design task extremely difficult. Therefore, a majority of people still believe that it is art rather than science that plays an important role when designing dies. It takes a long time to gain sufficient experience to become an expert in this field. The highly competitive environment makes it necessary to redu
