Description

The present invention relates to an assembly part ordering method and an assembly part ordering system for ordering parts necessary for assembling a desired structure.

  When assembling a frame structure using a frame member, in order to assemble a desired frame structure, it is necessary to prepare a frame member having a length corresponding to the frame structure. For this reason, the user who assembles the frame structure needs to obtain a frame member having a necessary length. In this case, it is common to design the frame structure on the user side, specify the length of the frame member, and place an order with the manufacturer. In response to this order, the manufacturer cuts the prepared frame member to a specified length and provides the user with the processed frame member. Thereby, since the user can obtain the frame member having a length necessary for assembling the desired frame structure, the user can assemble the desired frame structure using the obtained frame member.

On the other hand, regarding ordering of frame members, a system is disclosed in which a set of frame members necessary for assembling the frame structure is ordered as a frame kit (see, for example, Patent Document 1). The system provides an assembled drawing with dimensions for each frame member, along with a set of machined frame members. For this reason, the user can assemble the frame structure based on the assembly drawing.
