computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing) refers to computer software that is used to both design and manufacture products. ... CAD/CAM applications are used to both design a product and program manufacturing processes, specifically, CNC machining.
The slide presents introduction to computer aided design and drafting, and introduction to AutoCAD software. 2D and 3D modelling using AutoCAD software is presented.
11. Hardware Configuration #1 Requires a big initial investment for hardware and software Maintenance of mainframe is expensive Updating operating systems is difficult Slow system response times
14. Hardware Configuration #3 Same as the second, except engineering workstations are replaced by personal computers running Microsoft Windows Popular with small companies Popular with companies whose main purpose is to generate drawings with their CAD/CAM/CAE systems Distinction between configurations 2 and 3 becoming blurred as personal computers evolve
21. Rapid Prototyping Process ( Damvig ) “ A computer-controlled laser beam is scanned across the surface of a vat of liquid photopolymer, instantly solidifying the liquid at each point of contact. Using data generated from a CAD file, individual cross-sections of the three-dimensional geometry are solidified in turn to build up a solid part layer by layer. In this way even highly complex geometries can be built in a few hours without requiring any tools. “
