cad/cam

introduction cad/cam process

cad/cam generally stands for Computer aided design and Computer aided manufacturing design is created in cad.
numerical control respectively. design is then imported into cam software.
Designing usually starts with CAD software where the actual drawing of the part to be then the imported data is used to generate a g-code.
machined is made which is followed by generating tool paths on CAM software machine then creates a physical product.

advantages disadvantages
Increased productivity.
Lower overhead costs. Expensive software.
Error free drafting.
Designs can be altered with minimal effort Special Skills required.
Repeatability.
It gives us a “zoom” feature Expensive machines required.
Improved Collaboration.
similar to a camera lens. High maintenance cost.

3-d printing
introduction
3-d printing is the computer controlled sequential layering of materials to create 3-d shapes.
it is particularly useful for prototyping and for the manufacturing of geometriclly complex components.
the process is slow, but it enables almost any shape to be created.
depending on the technique adopted, printing can produce multiple components simulatneously , can use multiple materials and can ise multiple colours,
construction in 3d printing may allow, faster and more accurate construction of complex or bespoke items as well as lowering labour costsand producing less waste.

quicker construction: this is the place solid 3-d printers , set themselves apart from
conventional techniques. 3-d printers finish a project within hours.
restricted build size: 3-d printers currently have small print chambers which 1bq18at012
restrict the size of parts that can be printed.
ease of access: 3-d printers are becoming more and more accessible with more local service. reduction in manufacturing jobs. vii a
environmental friendly: technology reduces the amount of material wastage used in the
