Abstract: A method of fabricating an assembly of at least two parts (20, 22, 24, 26, 28) of metal plates butted together at a welded interface area (30) by using a stored CAD program of the three dimensional coordinates of a first part (20, 22, 24, 26, 32) and a second part (32) including the coordinates of an interface area (30) or outline of the first part (20, 22, 24, 26, 32) onto to the second part (32). The parts (20, 22, 24, 26, 28) are cut from stock about the desired peripheries by a cutting tool (34) guided by a sub-file in the computer program and, while the part (20, 22, 24, 26, 32) remains in the cutting machine (36), the program guides the cutting tool (34) to cut out a recessed area (30) in the second part (32) for receiving the first part (20, 22, 24, 26, 32) into the recessed area (30) of the second part (32). The first part (20, 22, 24, 26, 32) is welded to the second part (32) about the recessed area (30) to create a permanent interface area (30).

Abstract: A tool system for an integrated manufacturing and assembly system includes a plurality of profile boards which are connected together with connector boards. The profile board include a profile edge which define a mold line surface. Each of the profile boards includes a slot for each connector board which is connected to it. Each connector board includes a slot for each profile board which is connected to it. Each slot in both of the profile and the connector boards has opposing edges. One of these opposing edges serves as a locator edge for precisely and accurately positioning the respective profile boards to the connector boards and the respective connector boards to the profile boards. The other edge of the respective slots serves as a non-locator edge. Wedges fitting against the non-locator edges are used to fixedly maintaining the profile boards connected to the connector boards.

Abstract: A method of assembling the separate components of a multi-component article includes generating a master definition of the article as a graphic data set in a 3-dimensional graphics computer system including coordinate points precisely locating the design definition in a three dimensional coordinate system. Data sub sets of the master definition are selected for component parts of the article including coordinate points. The data sub sets are transferred to a tool and component parts of the article are formed on the tool utilizing the data sub sets. The formed parts include physical markings thereon corresponding to the coordinate points of the master design definition. The data sub set are further downloaded to a microprocessor controlled measuring device. The measuring device is calibrated to the master design definition utilizing the physical markings on one of the parts. Further of the parts are then located with respect to other of the parts by utilizing their physical markings and referencing these marking back to the master design definition via the microprocessor controlled measuring device.
