Today, it has become more difficult for individual designer to fulfill the complicated design work due to the complexity of modern products. Moreover, an increasing trend toward product development in a collaborative environment has resulted in the involvement of multitudinous enterprises and the use of various software tools to enhance the product design. P2P-based manufacturing grid which combines the advantages of client-server model and pure P2P (Peer-to-Peer) model and avoids their shortcomings provides a supporting environment for heterogeneous collaborative design. And a semantics-based heterogeneous collaborative design methodology is proposed in the paper. Using semantics, product data exchange and modification for collaborative design of heterogeneous CAD systems is implemented. Based on above technologies, a prototype system named HCDGrid is developed. At last, a case study is further given to illustrate the effectiveness of the system.
