In the design and manufacturing industry, Small and Medium Industry (SMI), which is lacking of good design and manufacturing environment, facilities and so on when compare with large scale industry, has its productivity directly links to the its engineer/technician's skills. In reality, more than half of the SMI implement On the Job Training (OJT) within a limited period of time as their training program. For example, in the design of custom casting product, a designer who is lack of casting knowledge may not be able to produce a good design. In order to obtain a good design, it is necessary to equip the designer with a support system related to casting process or so called, knowledge transfer system. Thus, enabling continuous design and manufacturing of highly added value product, which is often required. This paper describes a relatively effective knowledge transfer system, which utilizes Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language technology to convey the knowledge of design process, casting plan, material characteristic (tacit and explicit knowledge) when designing custom casting product.
