The integration of DFMA (Design for Manufacturing and Assembly) and Reverse Engineering (ER) Applied to a Landing Gear Redesign
Abstract
The article addresses the redesign of a landing gear for a light aircraft that suffered from manufacturing and assembly problems. Numerical parameters of design features are related to design guidelines for identifying fabrication and assembly issues within 3D model analysis. For this work, the Lucas method of the DFMA integrated with reverse engineering was used as a methodology for the redesign, and its evaluation parameters for resizing the assembly item. Subsequently, the geometry of the redesigned component was defined, where significant reductions were obtained for the evaluation rates of the method used. Reduction from 20 pieces to just 6, which corresponds to a gain of 42% for functional analysis, reductions of 72% for power analysis and 84% for assembly analysis.
