For Mechanical And Electrical Products, Industrial Design Knowledge Management System Research And Implementation,

This paper stems from the project of National High Technology Research and Development Program of China (Type A), named "Research Faced to Computer Aided Definition Design about Product Innovation" (No. 2002AA411110) and "Research on Key Technology of 3D Digital Customized Design of Information Domestic Appliances" (No. 2002AA411120).Absence of essential knowledge management is becoming one of the most serious bottlenecks to block the development of CAID especially in our country. Aiming provide the designers with a web based knowledge management platform to aid ID(industrial design) activities such as aesthetic design, ergonomic design etc., promoting their accumulation of CAID knowledge and experience, and facilitating their information exchange by web, the concept of web based CAID knowledge management system (WBKMS) has been presented and then this CAID WBKMS (especially for machine tools' ID ) has been studied and constructed. In addition, this system can also be combined with the CAID System-CD (China design) developed formerly by our Institute of Industrial Design of Northwestern Polytechnical University.
