Computer integrated manufacturing (CIM) includes all the engineering functions of CAD/CAM, but it also
includes the firms business function that are related to manufacturing

Timeline / History of CAD

The method of representing 3D solid objects through
orthographic projection was formulized by French
mathematician Gaspard Monge (1746-1818).
Interactive Computer Graphics (ICG) was developed during
1960s.
By the late 1960s the term Computer Aided design (CAD) was
coined.
During 1970s, graphics standard GKS, PHIGS and IGES were
introduced to facilitate data exchange.
By 1980s and 1990s, CAD/CAM had penetrated virtually every
industry including aerospace, automotive, construction,
consumer etc.

Acquiring a CAD/CAM System

The selection of the CAD/CAM system is greatly
influenced by the size and complexity of the product
of the company.

Automobile industry will search for a system which can solve

complex problems of sheet metal and die/mold design.

A shoe making company will look for a system which is good

in surface modeling

The manufacturer of parts on CNC will be interested in a

good CAM system.
