ICAM Manufacturing Cost/Design Guide. Volume 2. Appendices to Demonstration Sections.
Abstract
The purpose of the "Manufacturing Cost/Design Guide" (MC/DG) is to enable airframe designers to achieve lowest cost by conducting trade-offs between manufacturing cost and other design factors. When fully developed, the MC/DG will enable designers, at all levels of the design process, to perform quick, simple, cost-trade comparisons of manufacturing processes and structural performance/cost trade-offs on airframe components and subassemblies in metallic and composite materials. To accelerate technology transfer, potential cost saving opportunities offered by emerging materials and manufacturing technologies will be indicated in the MC/DG. The first program, reported in AFML-TR-76-227, developed a model of the MC/DG, the contents, cost drivers, data requirements and designer-oriented formats for conventional and some emerging manufacturing technologies, and also an implementation plan.
