Computer-aided manufacturing

Ayman Meckael 2567584 1) Make a list of different characteristics of AM technologies as a means to compare with CNC machining. Under what circumstances do AM have the advantage and under what would CNC? Materials • CNC machining it works particularly well for hard, relatively brittle materials like steels and other metal alloys to produce high accuracy parts with well-defined properties and normally be more homogeneous and predictable in quality. • AM parts, in contrast, may have voids or

the Marine Corps. An additive and subtractive fabricator in the trenches would serve to be an asset to commanders, because he/she will not be limited by technology or lack of expertise. Both of these specialties present an opportunity to exploit manufacturing capabilities. After all, exploitation is a human endeavor and until unmanned technologies take over completely, is it not the Marines using the technologies that are the assets? In the civilian sector, experience is often necessary in most fields;

1 The manufacturing process over the last decade has been transformed, by the several modern CAD and CAM packages offered to companies. Modernising their technologies that are used in their facilities/site. Due to this traditional methods by the use of manual machines and drawing methods are being replaced by the more efficient CNC machines programmed by CAM packages. Therefore, the dated drawing methods of pen and paper on a drawing board are by revolutionised by the new computer aided design software

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

effectively solve the different business problems. Though original equipment manufacturing industries (OEMs) has used the PLM to increase their productivity, quality of product, to speed up delivery, increased profit and became more efficiency, suppliers of this OEMs are still not using PLM. By implementing the correct strategies at supplier of foundry industry an attempt was made to realize the benefits of PLM tools (digital manufacturing tool and commercial PLM software). The case study indicated improved

combat this and in an attempt to 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.

the draughtsman is slowly being lost and becoming more invaluable. Both systems of drawing basically use the same methods and techniques, such as on both you can draw in isometric 3D or oblique 3D and you can pretty much do whatever you do on the computer (with a few exceptions) on paper. As you can see, CAD has more advantages and once you learn how to use CAD, it can be really easy to use. But if you are low on money and don’t have the time to learn CAD, hand drawing is the other option which will

2.3 Quality Function Deployment (QFD) Quality function deployment (QFD) is originally developed by Dr. Yoji Akao in Japan in 1966. It had been implemented by Dr. S. Mizuno. QFD is a method to transform requirements of customers to products design. The purpose of QFD is to investigate the most important elements to develop product that closely meet the needs of customers. According to Akao (1990), QFD is one of the technique to ensure the design quality while the product is still in the design stage

Formerly known as UNIGRAPHICS, NX is an advanced high end CAD/CAM/CAE software package. Owned by Siemens PLM Software, it is used for parametric design, direct solid and surface modeling and simulation with respect to static, thermal, dynamic and manufacturing aspects. NX design tools are superior in power, versatility, flexibility and productivity. Fast and intuitive editing of the profiles has been enabled by incorporating the synchronous technology, thereby making the job of the designer easy. It

Actaris & Longleat ::AO1 (a):: Actaris: 1 year in existence, 100 years' experience Created in November 2001, the Actaris group took over all the activities of Resource Management Services (RMS), They are the only international group entirely dedicated to metering electricity, gas and heating. This is achieved by making and installing high quality meters that measure these factors. ::Activities: The main activities of the company are; 1) R+D (Research and development) into new and recent products
