CAD is used in the design and development of new products in a variety of applications both at home and on a commercial/industrial basis. Examples of typical CAD applications include: - aerospace - architecture - car/vehicle design - construction (e.g. roads‚ services‚ surveying‚ tunnels‚ bridges‚ etc.) - consumer goods (e.g kettles‚ toasters‚ etc.) - digital circuits - factory layouts (e.g. ergonomics) - fashion design - garden/landscape gardening - heating systems - interior designs

TECHNICAL PRESENTATION Computer-aided design Computer-aided design (CAD) is the use of computer technology for the design of objects‚ real or virtual. CAD often involves more than just shapes. As in the manual drafting of technical and engineering drawings‚ the output of CAD often must convey also symbolic information such as materials‚ processes‚ dimensions‚ and tolerances‚ according to application-specific conventions. CAD may be used to design curves and figures in two-dimensional ("2D")

CAD/CAM The term CAD/CAM means Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing. CAD is defined as the use of computer technology to design a part or a product‚ modify it and also analyze the engineering design. CAD has become popular as the use of the design software’s helps in lower product development costs and shortened design cycles. CAM is defined as the use of computer technology to manufacture or prototype product components with the help of computer numerical control (CNC)

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

Computer-aided design (CAD) also known as computer-aided design and drafting (CADD) is the use of computer technology for the process of design and design-documentation. Computer-aided design (CAD) involves creating computer models defined by geometrical parameters. These models typically appear on a computer monitor as a three-dimensional representation of a part or a system of parts‚ which can be readily altered by changing relevant parameters. CAD systems enable designers to view objects under
