...P. Chalermkarnnon; A. Manonukul; N. Muenya; H. Nakayama; M. Fujiwara Metal injection molding (MIM) has been used in manufacturing highly complex metal parts but has had far less application for titanium which is a reactive metal. The implementation of titanium MIM on a mass production scale still...

...Andres G. Abad; Kamran Paynabar; Jionghua Judy Jin With the increase of market fluctuation, assembly systems moved from a mass production scheme to a mass customization scheme. Mixed model assembly systems (MMASs) have been recognized as enablers of mass customization manufacturing. However...

...Georg Ungemach; Frank Mantwill The geometric deviations of real parts pose a major challenge, particularly in the extensively automated mass production of complex assemblies. To meet this challenge, an attempt is made, with the aid of statistical tolerance analysis, to predict dimensional accuracy...

... . Traditional mass production was based on dedicated assembly lines where only one product model was produced in large quantities. Such systems can achieve high productivity by using principles of economies of scale and work division among assembly stations. However, in today’s marketplace, where customers...

...Peng Chen; Gap-Yong Kim; Jun Ni High aspect ratio porous microfeatures are becoming more important in the modern industry. However, the fabrication of such features under a mass production environment remains a challenge when robustness, cost effectiveness, and high productivity requirements...
