Tacit knowledge plays an important role in stamping die design, but it is hard to be mined and reused. This paper presents a fuzzy-rough approach of mining rules from existing successful die designs, which improves learning capability of intelligent stamping die design systems. The core of the learning mechanism includes: (1) a feature-based case representation, (2) fuzzification of feature attributes, (3) a fuzzy classification method to partition the cases into clusters based on similarities, (4) a rough set theory-based approach to compute attribute reduct and mine rules. A case base containing 53 bending features was used to test the proposed approach. 38 If-Then rules were mined after computing, and these rules could preserve the basic properties of the origin decision table. The results show that this approach can speed up the retrieval process of the case-based systems and reduce the difficulties in acquiring and updating rules for the rule-based systems.
