In order to increase competitive power in the market,
it's very important to shorten the lead-time in the development and production
for the needs of consumer and necessarily to develop attractive and good qualify
products. Concurrent engineering while using 3-D CAD system, finite element analysis
and stereolithography are useful for fulfilling these market needs.
IRII (Industrial Research Institute of Ishikawa) has offered production technique
using these systems to small and mid-sized enterprises. In this report, the equipments
are introduced and a case study of concurrent engineering is presented.
Key Words:concurrent engineering, 3-D CAD system, stereolithography, finite element
