Abstract. Development of new products requires the use of modern
tools for design, which enable evasion of errors and reduction of the number
of iterations as soon as in the early phases of development. In the concept
of simultaneous development of products and technologies, the feature-based
design enables creation of product models suitable for various engineering
applications. The paper provides an outline of the favourable effects of
the feature-based design during the development of the virtual product
in digital factory ambiance. What is emphasized is manufacturability analysis,
which enables adoption of the product to manufacturing conditions and reduction
of the cost of manufacturing.
Key words: Feature-based Design, Manufacturability Analysis,
Design for Manufacturing, Intelligent CAD Systems, Simultaneous Design
FEATURE MODELI U VIRTUELNOM RAZVOJU PROIZVODA
Razvoj novih proizvoda zahteva korišćenje modernih alata za konstruisanje
koji u velikoj meri smanjuju mogućnost greške i broj iterecija već u ranoj
fazi procesa razvoja. Koncept simultanog razvoja proizvoda i tehnologije,
odnosno, feature- zasnovano konstruisanje, omogućuje izradu modela prozvoda
pogodnih za različite tehničke aplikacije. U radu su razmatrane mogućnosti
koje pruža feature- zasnovano konstruisanje pri razvoju virtualnog proizvoda
u digitalnom okruženju. Posebno je naglašena analiza proizvoda sa aspekta
proizvodnje a u cilju svrsishodne redukcije troškova proizvodnje.
