Abstract

Techniques regarding manufacturing one or more digital product designs are provided. For example, one or more embodiments described herein can include a system, which can comprise a memory that can store computer executable components. The system can also comprise a processor, operably coupled to the memory, and that can execute the computer executable components stored in the memory. The computer executable components can comprise a user interface component that generates a manufacturability report regarding a product design in relation to a manufacturing process. The manufacturability report can indicate whether a product feature included in the product design is permissible based on a plurality of manufacturing considerations associated with the manufacturing process.

Claims (46)

1. A system, comprising:

a memory that stores computer executable instructions; and

a processor, operably coupled to the memory, and that executes the computer executable instructions stored in the memory, wherein execution of the computer executable instructions causes the processor to:

access a product design, wherein the product design comprises an electronic three-dimensional computer-aided design file illustrating a geometry of a product, and wherein the product design is associated with a selected manufacturing process;

generate, via a trained model, a manufacturability report that indicates that fabricating the product design via the selected manufacturing process will cause a defect in the product; and

instruct a manufacturing facility to fabricate the product design according to an alternative manufacturing process.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein execution of the computer executable instructions further causes the processor to:

receive the product design as input data and present a plurality of manufacturing characteristics for selection, wherein the selected manufacturing process is defined via a selection of one or more manufacturing characteristics from the plurality of manufacturing characteristics and added to the input data.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the defect is breakage or warpage of the product during or after performance of the selected manufacturing process.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the manufacturability report indicates where the defect is likely to occur in or on the product.

5. The system of claim 2 , wherein execution of the computer executable instructions further causes the processor to:

generate a cost report that defines a cost of manufacturing the product design by the selected manufacturing process as a function of a feature of the product design and a manufacturing characteristic of the selected manufacturing process.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein execution of the computer executable instructions further causes the processor to:

generate a cost trend that describes the cost of manufacturing as the manufacturing characteristic remains fixed while the feature varies.

7. The system of claim 5 , wherein execution of the computer executable instructions further causes the processor to:

generate a cost trend that describes the cost of manufacturing as the feature remains fixed and the manufacturing characteristic varies.

8. The system of claim 5 , wherein execution of the computer executable instructions further causes the processor to:

generate a display comprising a first cost trend and a second cost trend, wherein the first cost trend describes the cost of manufacturing as the manufacturing characteristic remains fixed while the feature varies, and wherein the second cost trend describes the cost of manufacturing as the feature remains fixed and the manufacturing characteristic varies.

9. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

accessing, by a system operatively coupled to a processor, a product design, wherein the product design comprises an electronic three-dimensional computer-aided design file illustrating a geometry of a product, and wherein the product design is associated with a selected manufacturing process;

generating, by the system and via execution of a trained model, a manufacturability report that indicates that fabricating the product design via the selected manufacturing process will cause a defect in the product; and

instructing, by the system, a manufacturing facility to fabricate the product design according to an alternative manufacturing process.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 9 , further comprising:

receiving, by the system, the product design as input data; and

generating, by the system, a plurality of manufacturing characteristics for selection, wherein the selected manufacturing process is defined via a selection of one or more manufacturing characteristics from the plurality of manufacturing characteristics and added to the input data.

11. The computer-implemented method of claim 9 , wherein the defect is breakage or warpage of the product during or after performance of the selected manufacturing process.

12. The computer-implemented method of claim 9 , wherein the manufacturability report indicates where the defect is likely to occur in or on the product.

13. The computer-implemented method of claim 9 , further comprising:

generating, by the system, a cost report that defines a cost of manufacturing the product design by the selected manufacturing process as a function of a feature of the product design and a manufacturing characteristic of the selected manufacturing process.

14. The computer-implemented method of claim 13 , further comprising:

generating, by the system, a first cost trend that describes the cost of manufacturing as the manufacturing characteristic remains fixed while the feature varies; and

generating, by the system, a second cost trend that describes the cost of manufacturing as the feature remains fixed and the manufacturing characteristic varies.

15. A computer program product for analyzing a product design for manufacturing, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to:

access, by the processor, a product design, wherein the product design comprises an electronic three-dimensional computer-aided design file illustrating a geometry of a product, and wherein the product design is associated with a selected manufacturing process;

generate, by the processor and via a trained model, a manufacturability report that indicates that fabricating the product design via the selected manufacturing process is likely to cause a defect in the product; and

instruct, by the processor, a manufacturing facility to fabricate the product design according to an alternative manufacturing process.

16. The computer program product of claim 15 , wherein the program instructions further cause the processor to:

receive, by the processor, the product design as input data; and

generate, by the processor, a plurality of manufacturing characteristics for selection, wherein the selected manufacturing process is defined via a selection of one or more manufacturing characteristics from the plurality of manufacturing characteristics and added to the input data.

17. The computer program product of claim 16 , wherein the defect is breakage or warpage of the product during or after performance of the selected manufacturing process.

18. The computer program product of claim 15 , wherein the program instructions further cause the processor to:

generate, by the processor, a cost report that defines a cost of manufacturing the product design by the selected manufacturing process as a function of a feature included in the product design.

19. The computer program product of claim 18 , wherein the program instructions further cause the processor to:

generate, by the processor, a cost trend that describes the cost of manufacturing as the selected manufacturing process remains fixed while the feature varies.

20. The computer program product of claim 18 , wherein the program instructions further cause the processor to:

generate, by the processor, a cost trend that describes the cost of manufacturing as the feature remains fixed and the selected manufacturing process varies.
