Abstract

This paper focuses on the development of a supporting S/W tool that can minimize designer's manual operations and errors in metal mold design based on a 3D solid model. The scope in this work includes the offset surface modeling, the computation of the padding force, the generation of material table, the decision of hole position, the estimation of the size of raw material, which are the essential parts of press die and mold design in automotive industry. The proposed system has been developed as a plug-in type using Pro/E API and Visual C++ in order to put the system into the menu functions of Pro/E which is one major 3D CAD systems in the manufacturing industry.

본 논문은 3D 캐드모델을 기반으로 작업자의 수작업 및 설계오류를 최소화하는 금형설계 지원 툴 개발에 초점을 맞춘다. 금형설계 지원범위는 자동차 산업의 프레스 금형설계 공정에서 필수 요소인 선직 곡면 생성 및 옵셋, 패딩력 자동산출, 수정사항을 반영하는 재료표 자동출력, 홀 가공데이터 자동 산출, 원소재 크기 출력 및 검증 등 이다. 개발한 시스템을 주요 범용 3D 모델러 중 하나인 프로엔지니어의 확장 메뉴형태로 탑재하기 위하여 프로엔지니어 API와 Visual C++를 사용하여 개발하였다.
