title: Rapid Product and Process Realization - theory and methodology
reg no: SF0142684s05
project type: targeted financing
subject: 2.10. Mechanical Engineering
status: accepted
institution: Tallinn Technical University
head of project: Rein Küttner
duration: 01.01.2005 - 31.12.2010
description: General objective of the project is to realize principles of Rapid Product and Process Realisation by developing the theory and methodology targeted to small and medium size enterprises and taking into account the changed economic environment and increased competition under the circumstances of global manufacturing.
The project integrates the investigation of the problems of mechanic, applied mathematic, information and communication technology, material science, and machinery in order to develop theory, methodology and tools for the integrated computer based rapid product and process realization.
The planned integrated design presumes coordinated solution of different design tasks. It integrates evaluation of the restrictions derived from geometry modelling (CAD), strength characteristics (static and dynamic, CAE) and production process.
There is planned to elaborate product development complete methodology, which guarantees optimal development of modulirized product families, maximum synergy and operation quality of the products and systems based on allied technologies.
In order to evaluate theoretical outcome of the project as well as for increasing the accuracy of the models used, the experimental investigation is planned and among others the virtual testing environment development as well.
