What is Cad/Cam?

CAD (Computer Aided Design) is

the assistance of computer and software in engineering
processes such as creation, optimization, analysis and
modifications. It involves creating computer models defined
by geometrical parameters, which can be readily altered by
changing relevant parameters. CAD systems enable designers
to view objects under a wide variety of representations and
to test these objects by simulating real-time conditions. It is
an integration of Mechanical and Computer technology to
aid in design processes like Modeling, Assembly, Drafting,

CAM provides fully associative, integrated tools for product

design and NC. CAM uses the same CAD geometry to
generate tool paths to ensure the part you machine is the same
part you have modeled. Tool path and machine simulation
and verification in CAM help manufacturing engineers quickly
also includes post processing, tool editors and industry-specific
machining solutions that automate interrelated tasks in the
manufacturing process.

It is both a visual and fast, and is used widely by engineers

Accommodation
Private hostel or home-stay accommodation are both
made available to students, off campus, but authenticated
by GNA-IMT, in the nearby towns of Phagwara and
Jallandhar. To help students settle in at ease, the GNA-IMT
administrative department assists students in identifying
and procuring an appropriate place to stay. The hostels
for boys and girls are housed in separate buildings and
also include dinning messes.

Cafeteria
The campus has its own Caf, offering a varied range of
