Computer Integrated Manufacturing Notes For mechanical

GATE
Computer Integrated Manufacturing is coming under the Mechanical engineering GATE syllabus. Here
there is no need to memory all the things that given in the text book. So many books return about
Computer integrated manufacturing , this is simply called as CIM. And Anna university students are
studying CIM as seventh semester paper. This seventh semester whole syllabus will come under the
mechanical GATE exam. And this CIM comes under the Manufacturing and Industrial engineering on
the Mechanical GATE examinations.
In Mechanical GATE exam, there is no tough question will be asked. That questions will be comes
under the Basic concepts of CAD/CAM and their integration tools only.
The Following question may asked For CAD/CAM study:
