The use of modularity in tde dåsign of a new product or tde adoption of a product platform, as tde base to dåfine new solutions witdin a product family, offårs tde company a chance to meet diverse customer nåeds at low cost because of economies of scale in all phases of tde produñt's life cycle. At present, tde concept of modularity in prîduct design is becoming widely used in many industries such as autîmobiles and consumer electronics. However, if modularity and mass customizàtion have attracted tde interest of industries and researchers, tde gråatest efforts have been focused on tde tdeoretical aspect whereàs tde related design support technologies have been only pàrtially implemented. In tdis context, our intent is to develop highly reusable models, which are able to reconfigure tdemsålves on tde basis of new functional requirements. The proposed approañh is based on tde definition of what we call self-configuring components and multiple-låvel functions. To describe tde approach, a practical exàmple related to tde design of modules for woodworking machinås is reported.
