Need for
CAD/CAM:
To increase productivity of the designer
To improve quality of the design
To improve communications
To create a manufacturing database
To create and test tool paths and optimize them
To help in production scheduling and MRP models
To have effective shop floor control

CAD:
Computer-aided design (CAD)
is the use of computer systems
to assist in the creation,
modification, analysis, or
optimization of a design.

Has three components:

a) Design
b) Analysis
c)Visualization

CAM

Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) is the

use of computer systems to plan, manage, and
control the operations of a manufacturing
plant through direct
or indirect computer
interface with plants resources.

CAD/CAM History :
The actual application of CAD/CAM in industry, academia and
government is only approximately 30 years old. Formal
courses in CAD and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) were
introduced in 1970s.
1960s:
Development in Interactive computer graphics research
Sketchpad system developed by Ivan Sutherland in 1962
CAD term coined

 1970s:

Application of CAM in government,industry and

academic.
National organization formed
Wireframe and surface modeling software became
available.

1980s:
New CAD/CAM theories and algorithms developed
Integration of CAD/CAM
Solid modeling software became available.

How do CAD/CAM systems work?

Developing NC code requires an understanding of:
1.Part geometry
2.Tooling
3.Process plans
4.Tolerances
5.FixTuring
Most CAD/CAM systems provide access to:
1.Part geometry
2.Tooling
