This paper delves into the technical aspects and viability of integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and knowledge-based engineering (KBE) tools in practical design. The goal is to digitally embed the hands-on expertise and technical boundaries set by seasoned professionals during intricate engineering and preparatory phases. We showcase how AI/KBE tools might emulate human cognitive processes to make well-informed choices. The article also probes the prospective economic and modernization repercussions of this innovation. Our findings suggest that such an integration is feasible and can amplify the decision-making efficacy and advance the sophistication of CAD/CAM systems in the shipbuilding realm. Furthermore, this investigation underscores the promising future of AI/KBE tools in ship design and advocates for continued exploration and innovation in this sector to fully harness its advantages.

The purpose of this paper is to show the post-processor role and importance in the creation of programming code which CNC machine controller can understand and proceed. Today, the use of CNC technology introduces the Indu stry 4.0 principles in the production, thus increasing the productivity and precision of the produced parts. It is very important to optimize all the production steps, from choosing the right CAD software for vectors drawing, defining tools and generating tool paths, creating and optimizing post-processor, to translating the tool paths in the programming code which controller of the CNC machine can understand, as well as educating the operators to be able to calibrate the machine and understand and run the CNC programming code properly. When all the abovementioned steps are correctly defined, the production can be optimized and best results are guaranteed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article introduces two variants of making spur gears by using universal CNC machine tools with universal shank cutter. The measurement of the chosen parameters of geometric structures of gear tooth surface were carried out as well as their comparison was made. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper describes the workshop which took place during the international symposium 'Digital Fabrication - a State of Art', which took place at the School of Technology and Architecture ISCTE-IUL, on 15-16September 2011. Its main goal was to introduce a group of about twenty people to the use of digital fabrication in architecture, in a country where these technologies are not yet fully implemented in architecture schools and curricula.
