Computer-aided engineering

COMPUTER-AIDED DESIGN: Computer-Aided Design (CAD) is a direct development of the traditional drafting board approach to ship design. CAD depicts geometry and dimensions on a computer monitor and not directly on paper, though an important output of CAD is still paper drawings. Sophisticated CAD systems are much more powerful than computer versions of drafting boards. CAD is most appropriate for relatively simple designs such as those developed in the smaller shipyards. For more complex designs,

According to Lucy Friend, “Computer Aided Drafters make $79,000 a year on average.”(n.d.). Computer Aided Drafting unlocks the door to numerous opportunities for employment; I selected Computer Aided Drafting because it’s so extraordinary with AutoCAD, because of the uses of Computer Aided Drafting, History of CAD, education requirements, and immeasurable career opportunities that are obtainable. First off, CAD is computer technology that has contributed in design and drafting of a portion or an

on a drawing board are by revolutionised by the new computer aided design software, which creates drawing to a more detail aspect for the customers. This is pushed forward technology in this industry forward and to the modern age, company and their customers are more satisfied with the information and design views in place when designed their products. CAD/CAM is a computer based manufacturing and design software, used massively in engineering and also in other fields of manufacture. CAD/CAM can

changed over the years. Now advanced technologies have increased the efficiency of drafting. Computers and new resources have made drafting easier, better, and less time-consuming. New techniques like rapid prototyping, B.I.M, sustainability, and L.E.E.D has changed the face of drafting. Instead of a group of people sitting around a table and drawing out the drafts people can now work independently with a computer designed for drafting. Green buildings and “green” technology has made living easier and

The presented work shows the procedure for developing KBE tools for standard design process of machine element and mechanical /engineering parts and assemblies based on the empirical relations. With the

maintain and adapt DoD equipment in the face of long logistical supply chains, the DoD deploys machine shops, weld shops and other fabrication capabilities in-theater. However, due to lack of design information, manufacturing technology and limited engineering design expertise these capabilities are limited and only provide a small percentage of repair parts that are needed to maintain these complex systems (DARPA 2013). This is where technology enters the picture.

In industry PLM combines data, people, process and business system, also serves as a product information backbone for industries and their extended enterprise. PLM has five different areas 1. Systems Engineering – Product life cycle management is subset of Systems engineering it concentrates on meeting customer needs and coordinating system design process. 2. Product and portfolio management – It concentrates on managing available resources, for new product development it tracks the

VIRTUAL RESTORATIONS USING CAD/CAM IN DENTISTRY ABSTRACT COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN AND COMPUTER AIDED MANUFACTURE in dentistry is an advanced dental technology for creating esthetic restorations, came into light since 1980s. Both chairside and chairside—laboratory integrated procedures are available for CAD/CAM restoration fabrication. This article describes about principles, brief history, use, advantage and disadvantages of CAD/CAM. Various types of available CAD/CAM systems are also discussed in this

Technology and Modern Architecture How has it changed the Architects’ way of thinking? Ali Alzahrani Arizona State University Imagine that everything in the life is operated by computers including people basics duties such as cooking, washing, working, or even thinking instead of the person. It could be something magnificent for some people, but others would think that technology would worsen people’s lives. Lawler (2005) writes “Technology

Before computers there were hands and tools. Before hands and tools there were just hands. Humans have always been designing and throughout human history drafting is what became of it. With new technology in building during the earlier years drafting needed to be changed to accommodate it. Humans have always been able to find better ways to accomplish things. Drafting is no different.      Before people used tools to draw something they went to what we call now a “General
