1. CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION TO CADCAM

2. LEARNING OBJECTIVES By the end of this course, students should be able to: 1.Describe the application of CAD, CAM and CAE in Industrial manufacturing 2.Define the term of CAD, CAM and CAE 3.Describe the components comprising the CAD/CAM/CAE system

3. Computers In Industrial Manufacturing Commercial packages in the market: AutoCAD and Mechanical Desktop -2D modeling and drawing. Unigraphics, Pro-E, Mechanical Desktop, CATIA and Euclid -manufacturing and analysis. Ansys, Abaqus, Nastran, Fluent and CFX are -analysis of structures and fluids. Alibre, Cyber-Cut and CollabCAD are the latest CAD/CAM -collaborative design (multiple users working at the same time.)
