Repeated, efficient, and extensive use of prototypes is a vital activity that can make the
difference between successful and unsuccessful entry of new products into the competitive …

This paper proposes a goal-programming modeling approach to address three-dimensional
concurrent engineering (3D-CE) problems involving product, process and supply chain …

So far, there has been an extraordinary development of computer-aided tools intended to
generate, present or communicate 3D models. But there has not been a comparable …

Direct laser deposition (DLD) is an additive manufacturing process that builds up a part layer-
by-layer by fusing metal powder to a solid substrate. A coaxial laser and powder delivery …

Companies in either manufacturing or servicing have to be restructured or re-organised in
order to overcome challenges of the 21st century in which customers are not only satisfied …

This is a primary text project that combines sustainability development with engineering
entrepreneurship and design to present a transdisciplinary approach to modern engineering …

The effective representation and communication of design intent plays a crucial role in CAD
model alteration activities. In history-based parametric modeling systems, design intent …

For rapid prototyping and tooling, direct laser deposition (DLD) is one of the most promising
techniques. The method can be used to produce fully dense metallic parts in a single stage …

CAD systems are proven tools which help reduce product development cycle times and
improve product quality. To enhance the performance of CAD systems, engineers must be …

In this investigation, the multi-objective selection and optimization of a gantry machine tool is
achieved by analytic hierarchy process, multi-objective genetic algorithm, and Pareto …
