The concept of using additive technologies for digital prototyping of assembly devices

The article discusses the main provisions of the concept of using additive technologies for digital prototyping of assembly devices in the production of electronic equipment. Approaches to the system design of devices and their components are formulated. General ideas about devices are generalized and systematized, types of fixtures for assembling electronic equipment are classified. A comparative analysis of the methods of classical and model-oriented (drawing-free) design is carried out. Recommendations on the use of additive technologies in the implementation of ‘trial and error’ design methods, the coordinate calculation method, wave technology, design using layout schemes and virtual assembly are given. The tasks that are solved in the process of designing and manufacturing devices in the production of electronic equipment are determined. Recommendations for modeling, simulation and prototyping of devices for testing designs and validating technological processes in order to reduce the time of technological preparation and production are given.
