The Development mode of Mechanical and electrical Products 3D Part Library

According to the requirements to reuse the design resources such as the three-dimensional parametric part models in the new products development process, the key issue to develop the 3D part library which its content can be expanded and recombined are researched based on the Part with the character of standardization and universal. The paper provid the object and the system structure of this 3D part library firstly. Then, the method to classify the Part data and the corresponding storage way are discussed according to the function of the classified Part data. Finally the method to develop management program of this 3D Part library is discussed based on the Pro/E and Access. The method provided in the paper can be a general way to develop 3D part library for different application field.
