ABOUT CIPET
3
Central Institute of Plastics Engineering & Technology
(CIPET) is an Autonomous Institute under the Ministry of Chemicals &
Fertilizers, Govt. of India. CIPET, PANIPAT Centre has been established in
2005 to meet the growing demands of plastics users and conversion
Industries in the region. The Institute has fully fledged Design wing, Tool
room, Processing Division and Plastics Testing Centre to cater the needs of
Plastics Industry through managerial and supervisory manpower, training,
Testing, consultancy, Advisory and Development services.
The State of Haryana leads in the countries march towards modernization &
globalization, out of major automobiles companies in India manufacturing
passenger cars, trucks, buses, tractors & two – three vehicles, eight
manufacturers are located in Haryana itself, out of about 250 large &
medium units manufacturing original equipments about 50 are located in
4
Haryana. In addition there are more than 3000 units in small scale sector
which are manufacturing automobile in Haryana comprising of plastics
based products. To serve the needs of the Plastics Industry & Vendors in this
region & to render technical support, the CIPET Centre in Haryana is
established at Panipat.

DEVELOPING 3D MODELS
6. The input for making these will be the available 2D drawing (which
may be in cad format or any other computer format).
7. The final output model / drawing file format will be *.prt, *.igs, *.par,
*.ipt, *.x_t, *.dwg, *.dxf, *.drw, *.idw etc.
10
ASSEMBLING
2. It is very much useful for the next user to understand how the parts are
assembled with each other and the bill of material covers how many
parts (like nuts and bolts) required.
3. For doing this we use the same 3D modeling software, which has,
tools to maintain the relation between parts.
4. The assembly model also has the relation with individual parts such
that if we edit the dimension in assembly it will automatically update
the parts and vice versa.
DRAFTING
11
1. CAD software is commonly used for drafting architectural and
engineering drawings and for making technical illustrations of any
kind.
SIMULATION
12
2. New product ideas and concepts are created through finding and
describing the function and the use of those functions.
ANALYSIS
13
importing functionality lets you work directly on the model
without having to learn the intricacies of a feature-based
programming system. The software's data-exchange module fits in
your existing CAE production workflow, allowing you to create
and manipulate a 3D model regardless of how it was created.
MANUFACTURING
14
2. CAM is a programming tool that makes it possible to manufacture
physical models using computer-aided design(CAD) programs. CAM
creates real life versions of components designed within a software
package.
3. NX 6 reads product and manufacturing information (PMI) such as
surface finish directly from an NX part model and uses elements of
that data to drive NC programming in NX CAM.
For example
Contour milling
In milling applications on hardware with five or more axes, a separate
finishing process called contouring can be performed. Instead of
stepping down in fine-grained increments to approximate a surface,
the work piece is rotated to make the cutting surfaces of the tool
tangent to the ideal part features. This produces an excellent surface
finish with high dimensional accuracy.
Roughing
This process begins with raw stock, known as billet, and cuts it very
roughly to shape of the final model. In milling, the result often gives
the appearance of terraces, because the strategy has taken advantage
15
of the ability to cut the model horizontally. Common strategies
are zigzag clearing, offset clearing, plunge roughing, rest-roughing.
Semi-finishing
This process begins with a roughed part that unevenly approximates
the model and cuts to within a fixed offset distance from the model.
The semi-finishing pass must leave a small amount of material so the
tool can cut accurately while finishing, but not so little that the tool
and material deflect instead of shearing. Common strategies are raster
passes, waterline passes, constant step-over passes, pencil milling.
Finishing
Finishing involves a slow pass across the material in very fine steps to
produce the finished part. In finishing, the step between one pass and
another is minimal. Feed rates are low and spindle speeds are raised to
produce an accurate surface.

CONCLUSION
25
Throughout the course of this report CAD, CAM & CAE were all
investigated in UG NX6 and it was found that UG NX6 is one of the best
user friendly softwares available till now.
It has multiplied the designing speed many folds and has a very easy-to-use
sketch tool. Profile, Inferred dimensions, and Inferred constraints are some
of the functions available with the UG NX6 sketch tool that will help you
speed up your sketching.
Assembling, simulation & analysis can be done easily sitting in front of your
PC otherwise without the aid of the software it could be a lot of time and
material consuming.
The CAM operation is very much interactive as you can check which
operation such as milling contour, roughing, finishing can best suit your
requirement. This function reduces the machining time and the chances of
tool failure are reduced. Furthermore CAM operation in NX6 is CNC
friendly and hence it automatically generates a CNC program and it can be
used as an input program for the machine to perform the operation.
