RQMTS No. | Details |
|---|---|
1 | Process knowledge database Large knowledge databases, including concepts of error source analysis, size effect, and uncertainties in the fabrication process. |
2 | Standardized processing/open-source programming Sharing information on part geometry and process planning as well as process information. |
3 | Active communication Providing communication between designers and process operators to edit and improve part geometry and process planning. |
4 | Adaptive interpolation Interpolating coordinates within the range of volumetric error of the machine and providing sufficient computational resources. |
5 | Consistent coordinate system Providing information on setting work coordinates and predicted errors during the multiple steps of fabrication processes. |
6 | Management of peripheral devices Managing peripheral devices to use machine resources fully and to improve process capabilities. |
