Notes:
Many firms have begun to recognize the promise and potential offered by knowledge-based systems (KBSs) to their design and manufacturing processes. KBSs incorporate the problem solving heuristics of human experts to solve difficult problems in various problem domains. A knowledge-based approach is proposed here for the computer-aided design of injection molded parts. The proposed KBS contains acquired knowledge of mold design alternatives and the assessment criteria for these designs. It employs this knowledge and user-entered problem characteristics to assist in the selection of a mold design for specific requirements. The rule-based KBS was developed using the 1st Class KBS development shell. In addition, the associated computer-aided design system is described in some detail, along with areas for future research.
