This document provides an introduction to CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing). It discusses how CAD is used to create 3D models of object designs, while CAM uses software to control manufacturing tools. The benefits of CAD/CAM include reducing design errors and time, improving documentation and design quality, and making it easier to apply new ideas. Key features of CAD software include zooming, layering, interference checking, and animation capabilities. The document concludes with an overview of CIM (computer-integrated manufacturing), which combines CAD and CAM to automate manufacturing and reduce errors.
CAD/CAM Certifications!
- 1. CAD/CAM Domain Let’s Get Started!
- 2. Introduction to the CAD/CAM • Computer-aided design (CAD) involves creating object models defined by geometrical parameters, using a computer system. • Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) involves the use of software to control manufacturing tools and machinery.
- 3. Advantages of using CAD/CAM There are several benefits of using CAD systems over traditional drafting methods that use rulers, squares, compasses, etc. Computer models designed using CAD are three dimensional and can be rotated on any axis, enabling the designer properly analyze the model as it was a real object. The use of CAD/CAM software also reduces the time required for production planning and allocation of jobs to various resources.
- 4. There are numerous benefits of using CAD, some of them are mentioned below: • The chances of occurring mistakes in a design can be avoided • Reduces the manufacturing time • Helps in better documentation of the design • Quality of design is improved • It becomes easier to apply new ideas in the design
- 5. Features of the CAD software: • Zoom in: The CAD software has an excellent feature of zooming in the component design. • Layering: This feature is used to overlay the machined part on the casted part. • Checking interference: This feature is used to check that the various components of the assembled structure occupy the designed space. • Animation capability: This feature allows to perform an animation operation of the designed components.
- 6. The concept of CIM Computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) combines both computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) and provides a completely automated and error-free manufacturing process. The CIM approach increases the speed of the manufacturing process and is widely used in the automotive, aviation, and ship building industries.
