用规则识别制造特征,提升钣金折弯工时预测精度
CAD-feature enhanced machine learning for manufacturing effort estimation on sheet metal bending parts

- 在CAD图的拓扑图中注入折弯特性等制造特征作为节点属性
- 在真实产线数据上预测误差降低,验证了方法实用性
- 适合制造业数字化转型中的工艺评估与智能设计场景
基于图的机器学习通过直接从边界表示(B-reps)的CAD模型中学习,已成为可制造性分析的有前景方法,能够利用表面几何与拓扑连接。然而,纯几何表示常缺乏准确预测可制造性的过程语义:许多制造因素,如表面角色或折弯意图,并未在形状中显式编码,数据驱动模型难以可靠推断。本文提出一种混合方法,通过基于规则的模块识别制造特征,将其丰富到B-rep属性邻接图中。应用于钣金折弯场景,识别出的特征如折弯特性、翻边长度和表面角色被作为节点属性,使学习信号聚焦于工艺相关几何模式。在大规模合成可制造性基准和包含实测折弯时间的真实工业数据集上的实验表明,结合领域知识与图学习的方法在两项任务中均提升了预测精度。结果证明,混合建模为工业CAD环境中可制造性评估与工时估计提供了可行且有效的部署路径。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Graph-based machine learning has emerged as a promising approach for manufacturability analysis by learning directly from CAD models represented as Boundary Representations (B-reps), exploiting both surface geometry and topological connectivity. However, purely geometric representations often lack the process-specific semantics required for accurate manufacturability prediction: many manufacturing factors, such as surface roles or bend intent, are not explicitly encoded in shape alone and are difficult for data-driven models to infer reliably. We propose a hybrid approach that addresses this challenge by enriching B-rep attributed adjacency graphs with manufacturing features recognized through a rule-based module. Applied to sheet metal bending, recognized features, such as bend characteristics, flange lengths, and surface roles are integrated as node attributes, concentrating the learning signal on process-relevant geometric patterns. Experiments on both a large-scale synthetic manufacturability benchmark and a real-world industrial dataset with measured bending times, one of the first such validations on genuine production data, demonstrate that combining domain knowledge with graph-based learning improves prediction accuracy across both tasks. The results demonstrate that hybrid modeling offers a feasible and effective path toward deployable tools for manufacturability assessment and effort estimation in industrial CAD environments.
