Abstract
Design for manufacture and assembly (DFMA) provides a key way of improving the design of products, however current tools for this type of analysis have not taken an integrated approach. This paper provides a brief review of the literature concerning DFMA and computer aided versions before presenting a new DFMA system virtual paradigm. This combines previous approaches to DFMA with the addition of a haptic virtual reality-enabled modelling and assembly environments to provide interactive feedback on the design as the assembly and individual parts are edited in an iterative process. The operation, functionality, and implementation of the system are described followed by a case study in mechanical engineering design illustrating the system’s application. The paper concludes with a discussion of the case study results and conclusions on its success.
