Özet

Manufacturability assessment and process planning of sheet metal parts are important activities for the design of a compound die. This paper describes the research work involved in the development of an expert system for manufacturability assessment and process planning of sheet metal parts produced on compound die. Production rule- based expert system approach is utilized for constructing the system modules. Modules are user interactive and designed to be loaded into the prompt area of AutoCAD. The system is capable to automate all major activities of manufacturability assessment and process planning of sheet metal parts. The proposed system can be implemented on a PC having AutoCAD software, therefore its low cost of implementation makes it affordable by small scale stamping industries.
