ICAM (Integrated Computer-Aided Manufacturing) Manufacturing Cost/Design Guide. Volume 5. Machining.

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. The MC/DG permits airframe designers, at all levels of the design process, to quickly compare costs of manufacturing processes and conduct structural performance/cost trade-offs on airframe components and subassemblies in metallic and composite materials. This phase of the MC/DG program was to develop a functional section of the MC/DG for machining of metals. This section contains cost-driver formats on material hardness and metal removal rates. The cost-estimating data formats provide information on the machining features of frames, wing skins, ribs, stiffeners, etc., machining features of bolts, bushings, etc.; and also general machining features applicable to most machined airframe parts.
