A framework of collaborative design environment for injection molding

This paper describes the framework of a network-oriented design environment, enabled by eXtensible Markup Language (XML) and CORBA [2], capable of providing collaboration and validity evaluation in injection mold design problems. XML and CORBA [2] are appropriate resources for the construction of such a framework because they have vast potential to improve software interoperability and facilitate data exchange across applications and people from various disciplines and vendors. An overview of the framework is provided and an application to the design phase of injection molding is illustrated. This example illustrates how design validities are notified and new design directions provided to the designer during the design process.
