Other title:
  • CAD CAM: principles, practice, and manufacturing management [Distinctive title]
Subject(s):
Contents:
Part I: Computer-aided design 1. The design process and the role of CAD 2. Defining the model 3. Techniques for geometric modelling 4. Elements of interactive computer graphics 5. Entity manipulation and data storage 6. Applying the CAD model in design 7. Standards for computer-aided design 8. Increasing the intelligence of CAD Part II: The design/manufacture interface 9. The design/manufacture interface 10. The total approach to product development 11. The link to machine control Part III: Production planning & control 12. Introduction to production planning & control 13. Requirements planning systems 14. Shop floor control systems 15. Just in time 16. Future issues
Summary: Providing a balanced coverage of both aspects of CADCAM, this book explores the processes of defining a product design with the aid of computers, of developing manufacturing plans and instructions for the product and of managing the manufacturing system itself. It provides a mix of theory, practice and analysis and relates the subject to real life. Extensive references for further reading are included, providing a starting point for the student. An expanded "CAM" section contains extra material on group technology, process planning, rapid prototyping, CNC machines and material on robotics and automation
