TOP-SOLID: Solid Model Creation & Analysis

REV:06/29/10

SCOPE: This procedure covers the construction and inspection of computer-aided design (CAD) solid models. Typically produced in Pro Engineer.

RESULTS

1

Engineer or Machining Department Programmer 3D model creation for part, gage, die sets, etc. is required Print, customer supplied model, verbal instructions, sample part or other source documents provided Begin model construction. When a print exists, mark, in green the dimensions that are achievable; Mark, in red, the dimensions that are not achievable; Dimensions or notes that present questions should be marked in blue and note on the print. NOTE: red and blue markups MUST be properly addressed. Compare the model to the last cast, pattern, customer supplied model or other source documents provided. Forward to another Engineer for inspection and approval once model construction is complete. Model construction completed and passed on to another Engineer for inspection

2

Engineer or Machining Department Programmer (other than the one in Step 1) Once model is created and passed on for inspection Print; customer supplied model, verbal instructions, sample part or other source documents provided and newly constructed model Inspect the model. Strike through the marked up green dimensions once it is verified that they match; the dimensions marked in red indicating not achievable should be validated and verified that not possible; dimensions with questions in blue should be validated. NOTE: red and blue markup issues MUST be signed off once addressed. Inspect the model so that critical features of the model compare to the last cast, pattern, customer supplied model or other source documents provided. If approved, note approval on 3D Die Design Checksheet and go to Step 5. Otherwise go back to Step 1 Model inspected and dispositioned
FOR DIE MODEL CREATION AND INSPECTIONS - Steps 3, 4 & 5
3 Engineer or Machining Department Programmer Die and/or trimmer tooling model creation is required Print, customer supplied model, scanned image, verbal or written instructions or own knowledge Construct die model and/or trimmer tooling models. Fill in the 3D Die Design Checksheet with information for all impressions and tooling. Forward to another Engineer for inspection.

Engineer

After new die and/or trim tooling models completed and before approval

Supplied die models, 3D Die Check Sheet, info from discussion

Using DEFORM, simulate forge process until satisfied with results; forward to another Engineer for forging simulation, die and trim tooling models inspection and approval.

Forging simulation, die models and trim tooling models with the 3D Die Design Checksheet forwarded for inspection and approval

5

Engineer or Machining Department Programmer (other than the one in Step 3 or 4)

Once forging simulation, die model and trim tooling models are created and passed on for inspection

Print, customer supplied model, scanned image, and newly constructed die and/or trim models, 3D Die Design Checksheet, forging simulation

Review and approve forging simulation then inspect the die and/or trim tooling models. Use all tools including own knowledge and experience and 3D Die Design Checksheet; If approved note on 3D Die Design Checksheet, if not approved go back to Step 3.

Forging simulation, die and trim tooling models inspected and approved

6

Engineer or Machining Department Programmer (originator)

Once die model approved

Print, customer supplied model, scanned image, and newly constructed die model and 3D Die Design Checksheet

Place a copy of the 3D Die Design Checksheet in PROE parts directory.
