Design is the process of translating an idea or a market need into detailed information from which a product can be made. Each of its stages requires decisions about the materials of which the product is to be made. The number of materials available to a designer is vast under these circumstances, and he must select from this vast menu the material best suited to his task. Thus it requires considerable intellectual effort to choose the material suitable for a certain purpose. In recent years greater cooperation with the designer has been proposed. For example, production systems such as CAD have exceptional information on design. Our aim is to develop a methodology for materials selection in the design process. The present study is an attempt to build a consultation system for the selection of suitable materials. The system consists of a neural network which has learned the pattern sets dealing with the interaction between the function of products and materials. Knowledge from literature and the skilled machinists' knowledge on materials selection are incorporated into the pattern information. The output from the system was examined by comparing it with the technical knowledge from literature and designer, and the validity of the system was confirmed.
