The Impact Of Ict On The Automotive Design And The Manufacturing Process

Software such as Auto desk, AutoCAD, Open Source, etc. are needed to create 3D graphics. Each of this software, have tools for drawing a

Cars are something that almost every person has or will use in their everyday life or need to use their car to get to and from work or school everyday. Well in this paper you will learn about what technology has done to change the Automotive Industry as well as your everyday life. This paper will be focusing on the Technologies inside of the car, along with the Technologies that keep you safe and also a little bit about Self-Driving Cars. So fasten your seatbelts while you are reading this paper.

The Polymold Division case is answering whether or not the CAD/CAM is a good investment. We are looking to answer how it benefits the company, financially. Mr. Martin, the Polymold Division manager felt that sales would continue to decline if Polymold did not invest in the new computer-aided designing and manufacturing system and it would lose market share on its remaining products to its more technologically advanced computers. Mr. Martin feared the marketplace. Polymold manufactured high-quality precision molds with interchangeable parts.

You have recently upgraded from Windows Vista to Windows 7. Before the upgrade, the application used to run perfectly. However, after the upgrade, you may start to face certain issues. You may see that whenever you open a drawing on AutoCAD 2006, Windows Explorer opens a new window with the image. Therefore, it not only consumes more memory but also you are not able to move the drawings from one AutoCAD page to the other. Sometimes you may notice that you are not even able to save any document as well. You may have installed the updates necessary for the application, still the error does not go away.

process of how they use 3D printing using their programs. After the visitation, I went home and researched on how to turn my Fusion 360 creation into a physical model. On the Autodesk Forums, I learned that I can export my file to a DWG gand open it in the DWG program. From there, I can export it into an STL file. From there I can upload it to a given 3D printing company. I will most likely not print my parts at the school because that requires me to be there and if I pay a company I can make the most of my time and spend that on another aspect of the senior project. Through this experience, I have learned how 3D printing is becoming the future of our technology. Today it is used to prototyping, art, and it can even create

The automotive industry is the 3rd largest worldwide in research and development with Ford and General Motors leading with billions in investments. The increased access to data and information has been significant, and new technologies have also ushered in a new era with electronics which now

When I was a kid, I was one of the many kids who were fascinated by cars and planes; but unlike my peers, I have always had the desire to design those machines myself. I started creating technical drawings for machines when I was six. Many afternoons after school, while my peers were

It gives people power to create anything through knowledge and technology. According to Eddie Krassenstein, a co-founder and director of the largest 3D printing news publications on the web gave background information, on the history of 3D printers. The first 3D printer took 6-8 weeks to print an object, was invented by Charles Hull on March 9, 1983 (Eddie Krassenstein). With the advancement of technology, 3D printers can now printer within hours. As reported by, Robert Green a cadalyst author, a CAD programmer and an expert in CAD management expounds that, Three-dimensional printers are fast and easy to use nowadays. The printers allows people to print within hours instead of waiting weeks for your object to arrive. 3D printers use “plastics, nylon, rubber like materials, etc.” (Green 2). Mashable, a YouTube channel that uploads videos of the latest innovation in technology, global news, entertainment, and more. When we have downloaded the software into the computer and have a “blueprint or downloaded a design from thingiverse, then you can print” (Mashable). Thingiverse is a website where anyone can download free drawings and blueprints to various 3D objects and print them three dimensionally. After all the measurements of the object is correct and the design complete. You can send it or transfer it to the printer to print

I have fixed many vehicles I have made them mechanically sound and have made them cosmetically appealing as well. I also like to fabricate new and unique parts for many different applications. I like to also draw, mainly sketch, very different and abstract designs.

The current software, AutoCAD was currently being used with a combination of MasterCam. AutoCAD would support the design work while MasterCam would be used to program the CNC router. The new program, SolidWorks would be used to convert all of the flat models

From car models to food and clothing, 3D printing will allow quick designing and modelling. 3D printers do save a lot of time and money, as it is entirely done through software tools and brings out the automated result, helping manufacturers to work within the deadline.

Moreover, Autotech will have competitive advantage in terms of cost effective and unique products and services as these systems can support in Research and development of Products, services, production process. With ISs, Autotech will able to obtain innovative design of auto parts, production process, modify auto parts, improve auto parts quality, improve production schedules. IS recognise and generate new products and services to grow new markets to drastically change business process via adopting digital forming and simulation of product, design to diminish time and cost of market. Moreover, Information systems manage all the supply chain process from raw materials to where the end product is used. ISs keep records of supply, distribution, storage of goods, manage transport and distribution centres with accuracy and fast. Telecommunication network provides better capability and opportunities in logistics. Supply chain, production process, manufacturing process will impact on sale of Autotech company’s products as Autotech will have quality and cost efficient products. As well, these systems will help to demonstrate and present products to customers in strategic way and product design, scheduling, quality can manage through Information systems. Autotech needs to collect and analyse data of customers’ requirement and their feedback of their products which will be provided by these systems with less

The industrial robots are applied in all branches of the industry. The highest level of application is in the automobile industry, but the number of installed robots is increasing in other industries as well (Karabegovic, Dolecec, Husak, 2011).

−−−Preliminary study of an automotive assembly plant for high volume production(1300cars/day with 2 type of cars, 4 doors and 2 doors respectivly, and flexible in volume, 3 shifts of workers)

This work is done to study the improvement of the quality in automobile industry. This chapter consists three sections named as “Problem definition”, “Objectives” and “Methodology of the study” respectively. The section 3.1 named as “Problem definition” describes the challenge or difficulty that is to be solved. The solution may be achieved after fulfilling the objective by using some sub-objectives that are described in section 3.2 named as “Objectives”. The methodology described in section 3.3 in details. This methodology has been devised keeping in mind the view of “Problem definition” and the “Objectives” that are suggested for the fulfilment of the solution for the problem.
