ICAM (Integrated Computer-Aided Manufacturing) Manufacturing Cost/Design Guide. Volume 7. Technology Transfer Summary.
Abstract
The 'Manufacturing Cost/Design Guide' (MC/DG) enables airframe and electronic designers to achieve lowest cost by conducting trade-offs between manufacturing cost and other design factors. When fully developed, the MC/DG will, for example, permit airframe designers, at all levels of the design process, to quickly perform cost-trade comparisons of manufacturing processes and structural performance/cost trade-offs on airframe components and subassemblies in metallic and composite materials. This volume provides an overview of course contents, press releases, executive summary brochure, press accounts, presentations and briefings given on the MC/DG to accelerate technology transfer of the MC/DG program results. A discussion of the organization of the coalition or team is also included as this was a factor in achieving rapid utilization of the MC/DG by design staff of the aerospace member companies.
