Durchgängige Feature-ID von der 3D-CAD Konstruktion bis zur Qualitätssicherung

Shorter product cycle times. higher quality and the desire for an ever-increasing variety of variants adorn the flagships of today's manufacturing industry - while reducing product development costs. The most important challenge is the interaction between quality improvement and cost reduction. Previously unresolved interface deficits between product definition and quality inspection have led to considerable additional work in programming measuring machines and have impaired flexibility in the product development process. Therefore. this publication describes methods and approaches for resolving the deficiencies within the process chain and summarizes the most recent insights. In addition. the article describes the current deficient situation in a real CAD-CAQ/CMM process chain.
