 INTRODUCTION TO THE CAD/CAM

CAD/CAM software is used to both design and manufacture products. Autodesk offers both CAD and
CAM software to help make the process cost-effective.

CAD is the use of computer technology for design and design documentation. CAD/CAM applications
are used to both design a product and programme manufacturing processes, specifically, CNC
machining.

CAM software uses the models and assemblies created in CAD software to generate tool paths that
drive the machines that turn the designs into physical parts. CAD/CAM software is most often used for
machining of prototypes and finished parts.

NEED OF CAD/CAM

There are several good reasons for using a CAD system to support the engineering design function: ·
To increase the productivity ·

 To improve the quality of the design ·

 To uniform design standards ·
 To create a manufacturing data base ·
 To eliminate inaccuracies caused by hand-copying of drawings and inconsistency between
drawings

CAD/CAM Software
Software allows the human user to turn a hardware configuration into a powerful design and
manufacturing system.
CAD/CAM software falls into two broad categories,2-D and 3-D, based on the number of dimensions
are called 2-D representations of 3-D objects is inherently confusing.
Equally problem has been the inability of manufacturing personnel to properly read and interpret
complicated 2-D representations of objects. 3-D software permits the parts to be viewed with the 3-D
planes-height, width, and depth-visible.
The trend in CAD/CAM is toward 3-D representation of graphic images. Such representation
approximate the actual shape and appearance of the object to be produced; therefore, they are easier to
read and understand.

 First identify whether the main part or the first to be created by protrusion
or by revolution.
 Select the sketch tool and then select the coincidental plane option and select
any one of the standard 3 planes (i.e. front, right &top).
  Create the cross-section profile as a closed one using the 2D commands
available after completing the sketch, click open or return button and then
click finish button.
 For creating other parts, select sketch both parallel plane option or plane by
3points option and then select the required plane.
 Construct the full cross section for portion and construct the half of the cross
section and an axis line for revolution.
 Do the protrusions by using protrusion command and the revolution by
revolved protrusion command.
 For constructing holes and cutout, used hole command and cutout command.
 If we use hole command, change the diameter of the hole by using modify
menu, resize hole option

 Use revolved cutout command whenever needed.

 Use the distance between option to maintain accurate distance between one
edge and other edge or between one edges and to center the hole.
 After constructing each part save it as a separate part file with extrusion* par.
 Enter into assembly environment.
 Assembly the various parts construct parts construct using the various
assembly constrains available (planer, design, mate, axial align, connect etc).
 After finishing assembly, check whether the various parts have been
connected properly or not by rotating the view.
 Save the assembly as a file with extrusion*asm.
