Introduction to CAD/CAM

CAD
Computer-aided design (CAD) is the use of

computer systems to assist in the creation, modification, analysis, or optimization of a design. Types: Auto CAD Turbo CAD

CAM
y Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) is the use of

computer systems to plan, manage, and control the operations of a manufacturing plant through direct or indirect computer interface with plant s resources y Computer Aided Manufacture Inputs Drawing on a computer . Outputs Cutting out a paper, acrylic or card net using a laser cutter. Cutting out sticky plastic using a Stika machine. Cutting out acrylic, Aluminum using the CAMM2 machine Stereo lithography.

Need for CAD/CAM

To increase productivity of the designer To improve quality of the design To improve communications To create a manufacturing database To create and test tool paths and optimize them To help in production scheduling and MRP models To have effective shop floor control

Computer-Aided Design Process

y Two types of activities: synthesis and analysis y Synthesis is largely qualitative and hard to capture on

computer y Analysis can be greatly enhanced with computers y Once analysis is complete, design evaluation- rapid prototyping y Software packages for design optimization

CAD/CAM and the new Environment

Rapid Prototyping Solid Freeform Fabrication

y 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.

Applications of CAD/CAM
y Entire automobiles, airplanes, and jet engines are

being designed in an integrated (CAD/CAM) manner. y Internet is being used to exchange design data worldwide. y Products that previously took several years to bring to market can be developed in just months. y The products are more reliable, meet customer expectations better, and are less costly to manufacture.

drawing. Greater accuracy of drawing. Easier customer modification. Fewer design error. Neater drawing. Superior design standards. Shorter lead time. Computer aided process planning. Cost estimation.

drawing. y Lesser accuracy of drawing.

y Modification is difficult. y More design error. y Rough drawing. y Inferior design standards. y Longer time period. y Difficulty in finding sequence

process. y Can't be done.

Computer Aided Design

y Low cost . y Data sharing. y Reduce wastage & Scrap rate. y Less labor. y Large variety.

Conventional Design
y Higher cost. y No sharing. y No analysis for wastage. y More labor. y Less variety.

Components of CAD/CAM Systems

y Major component is hardware

and software allowing shape manipulation y Hardware includes graphic devices and their input and output operations y Software includes packages that manipulate or analyze shapes according to user interaction

Hardware Components
y Graphic device is composed of a display

processing unit, a display device, and one or more input devices y Input devices:
y Mouse y Space ball y Data tablet with a puck or stylus y Keyboard

y Output Devices:
Plotters y Color laser printers

DELMIA
DELMIA provides the manufacturing community with e-solutions to plan, create, monitor and control manufacturing systems geared toward build-to-order and lean production. An ideal solution would provide concurrent engineering and manufacturing, with the concept, product engineering and process engineering phases all occurring simultaneously. This ideal solution is the Product, Process and Resource Hub .

CATIA
y More than 80 percent of large commercial and regional aircraft designers use CATIA. y More than 80 percent of helicopter designers use CATIA. y 19 of the top 30 automotive manufacturers use CATIA as their core design system. y 9 of the 11 Formula One teams use CATIA for either chassis or engine design
