Chapter 1.1: Introduction to CAD Chapter details: ® Introduction to CAD Objectives On completion of this period, you would be able to know © Defininition of CAD ® Introduction to CAD Introduction to CAD °Q Qe CAD/CAM is a term which means computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing. Itis the technology concerned with the use of digital computers to perform certain functions in design and production. This technology is moving in the direction of greater integration of design and manufacturing. These two activities which have traditionally been treated as distinct and separate functions in a production firm ultimately. CAD/CAM will provide the technology base for the computer-integrated factory for the future. Computer-aided design (CAD) can be defined as the use of computer systems to assist in the creation, modification, analysis, or optimization ofa design. The computer systems consist of the hardware and software to perform the specialized design functions required by the particular user firm. The CAD hardware typically includes the computer, one or more graphics display terminals, keyboards, and other peripheral equipment. The CAD software consists of the computer program: to implement computer graphics on the system plus application programs to facilitate the engineering functions of the user company. Examples of these application programs include stress-strain analysis of components. Dynamic response of mechanism, heat transfer calculations and numerical control part programming. The collection of application programs will vary from one user firm to the next because their product lines, manufacturing processes, and customer markets are different. These factors give rise to differences in CAD system requirements. -- PAGE END -- Summary In this class, we have discussed the following ® Introduction to CAD 1. The term CAD stands for a.
