A dedicated CAM(Computer-Aided Manufacturing) system has been developed, which generated tool-path to machine Styrofoam stamping die-patterns in Chrysler Corporation. A previous process to build die-patterns was to "stick build" the pattern, in which stock is cut & glued together, and then the NC machining of part-surface shape completes building a Styrofoam die-pattern. The current process utilizes the developed CAM system, and almost removes the manual work, consequently reduces the overall lead time. The paper presents the overall system structures, tool-path generation, and some features of Styrofoam pattern machining.

In developing computer-aided design technology for optimization of stamping die design, it has been an important issue to treat the frictional constraint acting on the blank holder surface. The main goal of this work is to establish database of draw bead restraint force and clarify friction characteristic for various automotive sheet steels, which is essential in developing friction algorithm that can be used for CAD of stamping die design. Draw bead friction tester is used to evaluate the various parameters that affect the draw restraint force and the coefficient of friction for the cold rolled and the coated sheet steels such as drawing rate, lubricant type, surface property of material, etc.

This paper describes some development of computer-aided system called "COLD-FORMING" and "DESIGN-DIE". "COLD-FORMING" is designed for the forming sequence and "DESIGN-DIE" for the die design of press forming rotationally symmetric parts. The computer program developed is used in interactive and written in BASIC. Design rules for process planning and die design are formulated from process limitations, plasticity theory and know-how of experience of the field. "COLD-FORMING" capabilities include (1) analysis of forming sequence and recognition of individual operation involved each step, (2) determination of intermediate shape and dimensions, (3) calculation of forming loads to perform each forming operation and (4) graphic out put for the operation sheet. "DESIGN-DIE" capabilities include (1) optimum die design corresponding to the output of "COLD-FORMING" and (2) graphic output for the die design.of "COLD-FORMING" and (2) graphic output for the die design.ie design.

This paper describes a research work of developing a computer-aided design of blanking and piercing for stator and rotor parts. Based on knowledge-based rules, the die design system, STRTDES2, is designed by considering several factors, such as complexities of blank geometry and punch profile, and availability of press equipment and standard parts. Therefore this system can carry out a die design for each process which is obtained from the result of an automated process planning system, STRTDES1 and generate part drawing and the assembly drawing of die set in graphic forms. Knowledges for die layout are extracted from plasticity theories, relevant references and empirical know-hows of experts in blanking industries.

This study presents development of an software for process and die design of hot extrusion through square dies. The design of extrusion dies is still an art rather than a science with increasing complexity of shape and thinness of section. Therefore most of the die design is still dependent on personal judgement intuition and experience. The objective of this study is to develop an software system which includes a design rule extracted from literatures and experts in the extrusion industry. The developed system is effectively used to design extrusion processes and dies with reduced lead time and trial extrusion.

This paper describes some research works of computer-aided design of blanking and piercing progressive die for stator and rotor parts. An approach to the system is based on knowledge based rules. The deveolped system is composed of six modules such as main program, input and shape treatment, production feasibility check, strip layout, die layout and drawing edit module. Using this system, design parameters ( geometric shapes, die and punch dimensions and dimensions of tool elements) are determined and output is gen- erated in graphic from. Knowledges for tool design are extracted from the plasticity theories, handbooks, relevant references and empirical know-hows of experts in blkanking companies. The developed system provides powerful capabilities for process planning and die design of stator and rotor parts.

This paper deals with an automated computer-aided process planning and die design system by which designer can determine operation sequences even if they have a little experience in process planning and die design for axisymmetric products. An attempt is made to link programs incorporating a number of expert design rules with the process variables obtained by commercial FEM softwares, DEFORM and ANSYS, to form a useful package. The system is composed of four main modules. The process planning and the die design modules consider several factors, such as the complexities of preform geometry, punch and die profiles, specifications of available multi former, and the availability of standard parts. They can provide a flexible process based on either the reduction in the number of forming sequences by combining the possible two processes in sequence, or the reduction of deviation of the distribution on the level of the required forming loads by controlling the forming ratios. Especially in die design module an optimal design technique and horizontal split die were investigated for determining appropriate dimensions of components of multi-former die set. It is constructed that the proposed method can be beneficial for improving the tool life of die set at practice.

In this study, a high-speed procedure to be used in composite molding technology is developed for the production of a hybrid supercapacitor in a progressive and revolutionary current in a production system, as are the related operating conditions. Mold parts with solid modeling, the ease of programming of future mold product designs, tolerance management, and pre-explode tests by the building of a progressive die design system using Cimatron_E10 Die Design Software for the strip layout are done. The capacity of the super-hybrid composite mold design will save time and money through its verification of the manufacture of molds. We plan to apply this to future related products for production cost savings of more than 30% achieved by considering the components of the production costs, labor, and material costs of production as compared to conventional production methods.

The progressive die performs a series of fundamental sheet metal working, particularly this study regards to develop the center carrier feeding type die for thick sheet metal(SS41, 2.5mm) production that is a specific division. In order to prevent defect on the production, the analysis of production part, optimum design of strip process layout, die design and die making and tryout etc. are necessary. In this study, we designed and predicted a progressive die of multi stages by wide collected data base and computer aided method.
