Network Architecture Based on 3-D Digital Design and Manufacture for Scaled Enterprise Ally

Abstract

With the features of rapid response, premium quality, low cost, flexibility, technology of digital design and manufacturing is becoming the principal boost that enhances the manufacturing industry in the 21st century. There are about several hundreds of thousands of scaled manufacturing enterprises that face the upgrading challenge of production technology, organization, and management transformation with the core alteration from 2D design- conventional manufacturing to 3D digital design and digital manufacturing. Netting of three-D digital design and manufacturing system is the only way of upgrading the manufacturing industry orientating to future. An idea of scaled enterprise ally is presented, and based on the scaled enterprise ally, netting frame is put forward and constructed of the digital design and manufacturing system, expounding the functions and features of shared data platform, those of linkages of digital design, digital manufacturing, cell enterprise management, and CSG modeling technique, creation procedure of CAPP, virtual testing technique in the digital design and manufacturing systems, explaining the key considerations including interrelationships among the enterprises , resources share, information security, network security.
