Developing a GUI based software in VB environment to integrate with Creo for optimize forging tolerance utilizing case study of coupling

Mechanical Engineering

Recent scenario forging processes induce more complex shape and size component. As the size and shape gives the component more complexity therefore we face the complexity in the calculation of the forging tolerance. So that for getting easily output of tolerance value according to the forging dimensions this CAD approach is apply here. The core of this approaches to decompose a CAD model of a complex forging die in geometrical feature. Technological tolerance data such as height, depth and diameter of forging component can easily carried out with this approach. Purpose of this CAD approach to create a bridge between modeller and manufacturer so that the error of minimizing in information sharing. For the tolerance calculation visual basic & modelling Creo is used. Topological relation according to the tolerance dimensions are being updated in the model topology. The proposed approach is illustrated by a tailor made application on a study case which was accomplished as part of collaboration.
