Des-MOLD is an intelligent knowledge-based system which presents the use of different Artificial Intelligence techniques to develop a decision support system for designers of plastic parts. Our approach is based on computational argumentation (ARG) and case-based reasoning (CBR) to offer both a recommendation about the design and the reasoning process followed in order to select that solution. Given the geometry of the part, type of material, mould’s material and defects to be avoid, the system combines a knowledge-based system (KBS) based on past experiences with designers social debates for providing a set of recommendations, enabling to update the knowledge database by reusing and adapting solutions from previous designs.
