This paper presents the design of a 3D parametric Standard Component Library (SCL) based on a CAD tool. This library can effectively generate standard components automatically from different suppliers based on Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG) method. Group Technology (GT) method is applied to control the geometry configurations of component models. A prototype has been developed to explore the feasibility of the proposed design with modular feature primitives internally without using pre-defined templates. The new design has demonstrated promising advantages compared to an existing library. Future research and development are discussed.
