Organisations now fail or succeed based upon their ability to respond quickly to changing customer demands and to utilise new innovative technologies. In this environment, the advantage goes to the firm that can offer greater varieties of new products with higher performance and greater overall appeal. As the direct result of this, the industry is required to apply new engineering philosophies such as Rapid Response to Manufacturing (RRM). The RRM environment is developed through integrating technologies such as feature-based CAD modelling, knowledge-based engineering for integrated product and process design and rapid manufacturing concepts.
IJRapidM is intended to provide a common resource for the dissemination and publication of research results and application descriptions that deals with the advancement of RRM, especially engineering design and rapid manufacturing in an integrated form.
 Objectives
The objective of IJRapidM is to provide a comprehensive collection of the latest research and technical work in the area of rapid tooling and manufacturing especially in an integrated engineering design environment The main goal is to serve as a resource for both researcher and practitioners. Readership
Individuals with interest in the following are the primary audiences:
- Rapid response manufacturing
- Development life cycle
- Life cycle cost issues
- Mechanical design and materials
- Rapid manufacturing
- Reconfigurable manufacturing
IJRapidM will attempt to bring these topics under the same roof. It is the journal’s goal to gather peer-reviewed research papers that are of interest to this. The contributions made to IJRapidM are expected to be from academic and research institutions, industries and government agencies.
Contents
IJRapidM will publish:
- Original full length articles reporting experimental and theoretical research
- Original applications reported with scholarly values
- General survey and critical reviews
- Book reviews
- Occasional Special Issues devoted to important topics in engineering design and rapid manufacturing
Subject Coverage
In general, IJRapidM will cover:
- Advanced methods in design, prototyping and manufacturing
- New engineering paradigms and philosophies required for advanced engineering design
- Solution methodologies in integrated design and manufacturing
