Tolerance aware product development using an enriched hybrid digital mock up (2020)
Journal Article
Friel, I., Butterfield, J., Robinson, T. T., & Marzano, A. (2020). Tolerance aware product development using an enriched hybrid digital mock up. CIRP Journal of Manufacturing Science and Technology, 30, 118-130. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cirpj.2020.04.009

Current practice in three-dimensional (3D) part construction and product assembly definition within a digital mock-up (DMU) is based on the nominal sizing of geometry. This approach does not reflect real part dimensions when they are manufactured or... Read More about Tolerance aware product development using an enriched hybrid digital mock up.

Computer-aided design model parameterisation to derive knowledge useful for manufacturing design decisions (2017)
Journal Article
Robinson, T., Friel, I., Armstrong, C. G., Murphy, A., Butterfield, J., Price, M., & Marzano, A. (2018). Computer-aided design model parameterisation to derive knowledge useful for manufacturing design decisions. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanic

This article presents a number of novel approaches for deriving intelligence from the parameterisation of computer-aided design models to assist the engineer in making manufacturing-related decisions. During the design process, a disjoint can occur b... Read More about Computer-aided design model parameterisation to derive knowledge useful for manufacturing design decisions.

Sustainability enhancement of a turbine vane manufacturing cell through digital simulation-based design (2016)
Journal Article
Caggiano, A., Marzano, A., & Teti, R. (2016). Sustainability enhancement of a turbine vane manufacturing cell through digital simulation-based design. Energies, 9(10), Article 790. https://doi.org/10.3390/en9100790

Modern manufacturing systems should satisfy emerging needs related to sustainable development. The design of sustainable manufacturing systems can be valuably supported by simulation, traditionally employed mainly for time and cost reduction. In this...
