1g Handbook Die Design 2nd Edition

This document provides an introduction to CAD/CAM systems and their history and applications. It discusses the key components of CAD/CAM including design synthesis, analysis, and manufacturing planning. Historically, CAD/CAM systems originated in the 1950s with interactive computer graphics and numerical control, and grew significantly in the 1960s-1980s with advances in wireframe modeling, solid modeling, and integration between CAD and CAM. Modern CAD/CAM systems range from basic 2D drafting programs to complex 3D systems that support the full product development cycle from design through manufacturing. The market for CAD/CAM continues to grow approximately 15% annually as the tools become more versatile for design and production applications.

CAD/CAM Contents and Tools
… 2 main process: Design + Manufacturing
… 2 sub-process of design: Synthesis + Analysis
… The end goal of the synthesis is a conceptual
design of the prospective product
… The analysis evaluate the performance of the
expected product
… Computer prototypes: Cheaper and faster to
generate

CAD/CAM Contents and Tools
… Manufacturing process begins with the
process planning. Process planning is the
backbone of the manufacturing process.
… The outcome of the process planning is a
production plan, tools procurement, material
order, and machine programming.
… The core of the CAD tools are geometric
modeling and graphics applications.

History of CAD/CAM
… 1950s: Start of interactive computer graphics,
CRT (Cathode Ray Tube), NC (Numerical Control)

… 1960s: Critical research period for interactive


computer graphics
† Sketchpad(1963) by Ivan Sutherland(1938~ )
† Lockheed initiated CADAM(Computer-Aided Design
& Manufacturing)
† Started using CAD terminology
History of CAD/CAM
… 1970s: Potential of interactive computer graphics
was realized by industry,
† SIGGRAPH, IGES(Initial Graphics Exchange
Specification),
† Golden era for computer drafting,
† Wireframe modeling

… 1980s: CAD/CAM heady years of research,


† Integration, Solid modeling
… 1 9 9 0 s: PDM(Product Data Management),
CALS(Computer-Aided Acquisition and Logistics
Support), VR(Virtual Reality)

History of CAD/CAM

<Fig. 2 Simple example of IGES>

Containing only two POINT, two CIRCULAR ARC, and two LINE
entities. It represents a slot, with the points at the centers of the two
half-circles that form the ends of the slot, and the two lines that form
the sides.

Definitions of CAD/CAM Tools


… CAD tools can vary from geometric tools, such
as manipulations of graphics entities and
interference checking.
… to customized (domain specific) application
programs, such as developing analysis and
optimization routines, on the other extreme
Definitions of CAD/CAM Tools
… 2 main factors that determine the success of
CAM implementation
† the link between CAD and CAM must be a two-
way route
† the hardware and software are networking of the
various CAM elements
… Timely synchronization among robots, vision
systems, manufacturing cells, material
handling systems, and other shop-floor tasks
is most important

PLM(Product Lifecycle
Management)
• Lifecycle management or
solution From concept
design to detail component
modeling, manufacturing,
destroying, and service
• A concept for
manufacturing on computer
without paper
• CAD information is core
information of PLM using
whole process

CAD/CAM Market Trends


… CAD/CAM
market is
growing about
15% per year
… The key factor
to the future
success of
CAD/CAM is the
development of
versatile tools
for design and
manufacturing
