A computer-implemented method for concurrent multi-user computer-aided manufacturing may include (1) receiving a tool path descriptor resulting from a tool path request on a local copy of a part model, (2) submitting the tool path descriptor to a server for application to a shared copy of the part model, (3) receiving, from the server, shared model data corresponding to the tool path descriptor, and (4) applying the shared model data to the local part model. Various other methods and systems are also disclosed.

An order receiver, when requested to make an estimate of a product, makes an estimate and calculates a delivery time while designing the product, and notifies them to a purchaser. A purchaser (3) requests an order receiver (5) an estimate of a product. The order receiver (5) prepares a 3-D profile sketch (V) from the three-side drawings of the product. The 3-D profile sketch (V) is divided into a plurality of components for a proper working. Development drawings for respective components are produced. Material costs, blanking costs are calculated from the development drawings. Bending processes are determined from respective development drawings. Bending hours and bending costs are calculated from the bending processes. Then, the components are assembled into a product. A welding cost, painting cost and an assembling cost are calculated from the product. A delivery time and an estimate are notified to the purchaser based on the costs and times to thereby shorten a lead time in producing the product.

A Web-based system and method creates one or more qualitatively distinct process plans for machining a part. The surfaces of the part are modeled and parameters for a plurality of CNC machining tools are obtained, including the orientations along which the tool cuts away raw material. A maximal set of translations for each tool is also obtained, where each translation includes a collision-free orientation of the tool and a maximal machinable volume of material removable from the part in that orientation. A search engine navigates through a hierarchically-structured search space that starts at an initial state and transitions to successive states based on actions that satisfy a cost constraint function. Each state and each action includes a tool, orientation of the tool, and a maximal machinable volume. The search ends when a goal condition is satisfied. The actions constitute the process plan.

摘要:
A method is provided for preparing an estimate for sheet metal working. Data of bending lines and data of an associated processing time for the bending lines is stored. Data of holes and data of an associated processing time for the holes is stored. A three-dimensional view and a development drawing which realizes the three-dimensional view are prepared based on an orthographic drawing. A bending line and a hole on a product are detected based on at least one of data of the three-dimensional view and data of the development drawing. A processing time of the specified bending line is calculated based on the associated data of the bending lines. A processing time of the specified hole on the product is calculated based on the associated data of the holes. The processing time of the bending line and the processing time of the hole are stored in a processing time memory. A total processing time necessary to process the product is calculated by adding up the processing times stored in the processing time memory. The total processing time is converted to a cost of processing the product in consideration of a cost per processing time.

Some embodiments of the invention include a method for controlling a production process of an object in a production assembly and for compensating errors occurring in the production process. For example, the method comprising generating actual property data comprising obtained values of properties of at least one sample object produced in the production assembly according to a production model; performing a nominal-actual value comparison with the obtained values of properties of the actual property data and set values of corresponding properties of nominal property data of the object; and automatically creating an adapted production model based on the nominal property data and on the deviation data. The adapted production model may be usable in an adapted production process for producing an adapted object in the production assembly, and differs from the nominal property data.
