Manufacturing Data Requirements - or "I Want My PMI"
John Callen, VP Marketing
Gibbs & Associates
Product design has made great strides evolving from paper-based, to 2D digital draughting, to 3D modeling, to 3D virtual prototyping systems. As a result, products today are brought to market more rapidly and cost effectively than ever before. But in the overall product development process, manufacturing is still hampered by the quality of product information provided and the representations used. Today’s manufacturing systems are still highly dependent on human users to perform key data fusion and interpretation tasks due to the format of the information being used. This presentation will examine the data challenges faced by today’s computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) systems, will identify a number of industry factors that are already starting to influence the evolution of CAM applications and will offer some suggestions as to what the future holds for CAM.
John Callen's professional career of nearly 30 years spans both CAD and CAM industries, where he has been directly involved with various next generation data standards, their development, implementation and adoption.
