CAM SOFTWARE

• What Is It?
• Computer aided manufacturing software is a tool/program that uses
numerical control to create detailed instructions that drive CNC machines.
CAM software streamlines the machining process and automates actions
like drilling and cutting, which makes it ideal for high-quality manufacturing.
What is CAM used for?
• CAM is used to produce almost any item created by a machine or tool. It can be
used to create models from metal, plastic and even wood.

Its main roles are:


• Tool path designs create computer models of new designs
• Machining equipment in manufacturing that rely on numerical controls for
precision cutting, shaping and packaging
• Management of overall production process to drive efficiency
• Fabrication and engineering design which relies on the integration and
synchronization of various pieces of machinery with CAM software
• Equipment safety. CAM is highly reliable – able to reproduce identical processes
without deviation. This can also result in cost savings as manufacturing facilities.
Manufacturing Processes Automated by
CAM
• We can control a variety of processes with CAM systems. These processes
are carried out by means of CNC machines (Computer Numerical Control).
These machines follow their supplied G codes and M codes to machine a
workpiece. CAM can automate the processes like Milling,Turning,Waterjet,
laser and plasma cutting,Electrical discharge machines,CNC routers,3D
printing ,etc.
The Benefits of CAM Software
• Efficiency
• Accuracy and consistency
• High production speed
• Precision
• Minimal wasteReduces wastage
• Reduced labour costs
• Increased control over manufacturing
The Disadvantages of CAM
• Computer errors are possible
• CAD and CAM software can be expensive
• Training is expensive
• Computers and controllers to run the software and CNC machinery for
manufacturing is expensive.
• Skilled labour required
• Technology failure
Popular CAD/CAM tools
Autodesk AutoCAD
• Lathes
• CNC routers
• Water cutters
• Plasma cutters
• Laser cutters
• Milling machines
• Electrical Discharge Machines (EDM)
Additive Manufacturing Techniques

• Who Invented AM?


• The earliest 3D printing manufacturing equipment was developed by Hideo
Kodama of the Nagoya Municipal Industrial Research Institute, when he
invented two additive methods for fabricating 3D models.
What is Additive Manufacturing (AM)?

• What is Additive Manufacturing (AM)?


• The basic principle of Additive Manufacturing technology is that a CAD
generated 3D model is used directly to fabricate a three-dimensional object
by adding layer-upon-layer of material and fuse them together.
• Additive manufacturing is commonly given to the technologies that use
successive layers of material to create a three-dimensional object. By using
various techniques the printer builds the 3D geometry by constructing a thin
2D plane layer by layer.
Types of Additive manufacturing

• Vat Photo Polymerization


• Binder jetting process
• Directed energy deposition
• Material extrusion
• Material jetting
• Powder bed fusion
• Sheet lamination
How Does Additive Manufacturing Work?

• Using computer aided design or 3D object scanners, additive manufacturing


allows for the creation of objects with precise geometric shapes. These are
built layer by layer which is in contrast to traditional manufacturing that
often requires machining or other techniques to remove surplus material
What Materials can be used in Additive
Manufacturing?

• Biochemicals(silicon, calcium phosphate and zinc)


• Ceramics(alumina, tricalcium phosphate and zirconia)
• Metals(gold and silver, stainless steels and titanium )
• Thermoplastics(acrylonitrile butadiene styrene ,polylactic acid
and polycarbonate )
benefits of additive manufacturing
• Rare Shape-Making Ability
• Accelerated prototyping
• Energy savings
• Environment benefits
• Material waste reduction
• Part flexibility
• Part reliability
• Production flexibility
• Supply chain improvements
disadvantages of additive manufacturing

• Cost of entry is high


• Production costs
• Additional materials
