Waldenmeyer, K. M.; Hartman, N. W. – Engineering Design Graphics Journal, 2009
The prevalence of feature-based 3D modeling in industry has necessitated the accumulation and maintenance of standard feature libraries. Currently, firms who use standard features to design parts are storing and utilizing these libraries through their existing product data management (PDM) systems. Standard features have enabled companies to…
