Intelligent DMU creation: Nominal CAD model preparation for automated tolerance allocation (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Friel, I., Butterfield, J., & Marzano, A. (2016, August). Intelligent DMU creation: Nominal CAD model preparation for automated tolerance allocation. Paper presented at 33rd International Manufacturing Conference (IMC33), University of Limerick, Ireland

This paper examines the integration of a tolerance design process within the Computer-Aided Design (CAD) environment having identified the potential to create an intelligent Digital Mock-Up [1]. The tolerancing process is complex in nature and as suc... Read More about Intelligent DMU creation: Nominal CAD model preparation for automated tolerance allocation.

Virtual reality as a tool to assist learning in aerospace assembly (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Gibson, Z., McGeown, M., Butterfield, J., Marzano, A., & Murphy, B. (2016, August). Virtual reality as a tool to assist learning in aerospace assembly. Paper presented at 33rd International Manufacturing Conference, Limerick, Ireland

This study examines whether virtual reality (VR) is more superior to paper-based instructions in increasing the speed at which individuals learn a new assembly task. Specifically, the work seeks to quantify any learning benefits when individuals have... Read More about Virtual reality as a tool to assist learning in aerospace assembly.
