Sub Code : ME 701
Prerequisite: Nil

Credits: 3:0:1

Preamble
Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) involves all the
processes of conceptualizing, designing, analyzing, prototyping and actual manufacturing
with Computer's assistance. Computer based information technologies have been
extensively used to help both designing and manufacturing industries manage their
processes and information system to focus their efforts on increasing the overall
efficiency and meet the customer's requirements. CAD/CAM attempts to integrate the
various stages of product design and development with a "Geometric Model", created
from fundamentals of computational geometry (CG). Latest techniques of geometric
modeling (Feature based or parametric modeling etc) and manufacturing like Rapid
prototyping (RP) have bridged a gap between product conceptualization and product
realization. A versatile Geometric Model can characterize all physical properties of real
component and can incorporate all types of simulations and can quickly generate the
modified outcomes (eg. Production drawings) for a predefined set of design rules. The
benefits extend beyond design to engineering analysis, manufacturing and inspection
which can be automated and integrated with the design. Present day CAD/CAM packages
(Pro-E, ANSYS, Solid works, CATIA, Solid edge, Unigraphic's NX, NISA etc.) are
capable of generating a versatile geometric model that can be used for simulation and
evaluation of all probable practical conditions. Use of CAD/CAM technologies enables
the user to make accurate and precise changes in the geometric models, production
drawings and simulation at any stage of the Product Design and Development Cycle.
