摘要
在模具設計過程中常伴隨著大量的零件組裝動作，設計者必須使用到各式各樣的模具零件，如果熟悉度不足就可能發生設計錯誤。本硏究目標主要在開發一網路化模具零件知識庫，提供模具零件相關資訊幫助設計者進行模具設計及設計決策。零件知識庫中的每一個零件皆可針對不同的功能需求做顏色顯示的切換，設計者可在設計流程中依需求隨時做顏色切換，增加各零件的判讀性。針對零件材料的選擇，零件知識庫也有包含材料庫，並利用此材料庫依零件功能性與設計需求，引導使用者選出符合設計需求的模具零件材料。而在完成模具設計階段後，所有從知識庫調用的模具零件，其使用記錄都會回饋到知識庫中並做顯示，並且將存在於每個零件中的製程參數帶入模具製造階段，藉由零件知識庫多樣化應用可減少設計錯誤並增加效率。
本硏究第二個重點在於模具設計引導流程中的零件組裝引導，零件的組裝流程有可能是非常繁瑣的，設計者需針對每一個不同的零件一一選取組裝參照；因此，在組裝過程中提供給設計者的資訊必須非常明確。因此本硏究開發具知識管理之模具零件組裝引導流程，藉由結合程式與資料庫提供組裝圖示的參考與自動化組裝條件設定的功能，組裝流程的參照設定將會比以往還來的快速，可提高40%以上的組裝效率。

Abstract
During the mold design process, designers will work with many mold components which can be confusing. This study focused on the developing a way to provide mold component information by using a web-based component knowledge database, which will help designers in designing and making a decision. It can change the appearance and color of each component during mold design, so that each component can be identified. While for material decision, designers will be guided by material database information to choose the suitable material. After the mold design process is done, all components from the database will be recorded and will be shown in the component library. And the information parameters carried by each component can also be used during the early step of mold manufacturing process. Through the various applications of web-based component knowledge database, the design errors can be reduced and the efficiency was increased.
In the second part, this study focused on the assembly guiding process of mold component during the mold-design navigating process. An assembly process could be very tedious, since designers need to choose different references and constraints for every different component. Therefore, the information provided to the users must be as clear as possible. The study developed a guiding process of mold component assembly, with knowledge management. By using combination of programming and database to provide assembly picture reference and to do automatic constraint function, the setting of assembling process will become even faster than before and the efficiency of assembly process was increased more than 40%.
