Interface of the Automated System for Technological Preparation for the Production of Prototypes of Structurally Complex Products

Abstract

With tight deadlines for designing and mastering the production of structurally complex products, the production of prototypes occupies a special place in their life cycle. On the one hand, this process crowns the design development, and on the other hand, it precedes the technological preparation of the main production. Despite the importance of the issues of developing a scientifically based model of technological preparation for the production of prototypes, they have not yet been adequately reflected in scientific research. This is partly due to ethical considerations, since in the field of information technology a developer, in some cases, cannot disclose the results of his research until a certain time. The purpose of the study was to develop an interface for an automated system for the technological preparation of the production of prototypes of structurally complex products, carried out to simplify the interaction of the technologist-designer with the system. During the research, an interface for an auto[1]mated system for structural analysis of prototypes of structurally complex products and a system for automated design of technological processes for manufacturing prototypes of structurally complex products were developed.
