Introduction
Computer-Aided Design (CAD) activities are
an integral part of the product design and
development process. With a number of CAD
model assembly techniques available, choosing
the best technique based on the complexity of
the model is very critical in order to save time
and effort. The goal of this research is to
investigate the effectiveness of different
approaches used to assemble a CAD model.
The basics
There are a number of techniques available to assemble
a product in a CAD package. Each technique serves the
main purpose, which is to assemble the product but
these packages do not reason about parts in the way
engineers think while assembling the product. So if
proper technique is used depending on the part
complexity, the assembly time can be reduced
considerably.
