A Dimensional Inspection Planning Activity Model

Published

Author(s)

Shaw C. Feng

Abstract

This paper describes an activity model for dimensional inspection planning that bridges the gap between product design and the dimensional measurement of manufactured products. Functionally, this model specifies requirements for developing a part of a product data exchange standard that enables design, inspection resources, and measurement data to be exchanged among computer-aided design systems, computer-aided process planning systems, and coordinate measuring systems. A set of diagrams has been generated to represent the activity and its subactivity, inputs, outputs, controls, and mechanisms, when such inspection planning is based on technologies of product data exchange, process planning, and information modeling.
