...Malay Kumar; Satyandra K. Gupta This paper describes a geometric algorithm for automated design of multi-stage molds for manufacturing multi-material objects. In multi-stage molding process, the desired multi-material object is produced by carrying out multiple molding operations in a sequence...

...Sung-Hee Do; Gyung-Jin Park The automation concept is being applied to many areas as the automation system in the manufacturing field works more efficiently. Automation of the design process is also very important for the reduction of the entire engineering cost, and can be achieved by an excellent...

.... 01 May 1999 design engineering packaging automation wiring modules VLSI integer programming The design of space-efficient layouts is an increasingly important issue in diverse industrial fields. This research extends methods which proved to be successful in 2D design automation...

... complete part models for automated planning and manufacturing. This planning process is normally based on some form of “decomposition,” for example, slicing into layers. Especially for newer, more complex SFF processes, there are several disadvantages to this approach, primarily that decomposition...
