CAD/CAM All the engineering functions in design and manufacturing are included in CAD/CAM. During 1970s and early 1980s; CAD/CAM came into the picture. Engineering activities in design include product design‚ engineering analysis and drafting whereas the process planning and Numerical Machines (NC) part programming come in the manufacturing functions. The literal meaning of CAM is the manufacturing of the products with the aid of computers. Manufacturing is defined as a chain of interrelated activities

Chad Odwin Ch740713 CAD/CAM Midterm Project Report Project Goals The goal of this project was to help students become familiar with a program created by the company Siemens called NX‚ specifically versions 8.0 and 8.5. Somewhat similar to the program SolidWORKS‚ NX allows the user to create sketches of simple and complex objects‚ and then create a 3-D model of the object. Also‚ an assembly of these models can be made by assigning constraints to create an overall 3-D assembly model. This
