CAD/CAM
 Some Application

In engineering practice, CAD/CAM has been utilized in different ways by different

people. Some of the applications of this technology are:

• Production of drawing and design documentation.

• Visualization tool for generating shaded images and animated displays.
• Engineering analysis of the geometric models.
• Visual documentation (VPM or IETM)
vpm : visual process management
ietm : interactive electronic technical manual

• The CAD process is a subset of the design process.

• Similarly, the CAM process is a subset of the manufacturing process.

 Why?
• Disadvantage
– Old people find difficulties to handle it ( lighter note )
• Advantage
– Time
– Cost
– Systematic
– Less chances of loss of information
– Chances of manual error is less
– Chances of Manipulation is almost nil
