DFMA for Internet-Based Collaborative Design

The integrated system of design for manufacturing and assembly (DFMA) and Internet-driven collaborative design was presented to support product design, manufacturing process, and assembly planning for product. The system managed and scheduled group oriented collaborative activities. The design guidelines of Internet-driven collaborative design & DFMA were expressed. Product design and assembly planning can be operated synchronously, intelligently, integrated under the condition of Internet-driven collaborative design and DFMA. The technologies of collaborative modelling, collaborative manufacturing, and Internet-driven collaborative assembly for the pump were developed, which was an example.
