1 You need to show some CAD and CAM processes in your folder-work
CAD-CAM in your work You need to show some CAD and CAM processes in your folder-work

2 CAD, CAD/CAM and CNC involve precision manufacture from design stage through to production.
CAD Computer Aided Design involves generating drawings from software. CAD is used throughout industry and almost everything that is manufactured started life as a drawing generated in a CAD drawing software. CAM is a software package that generates code from a CAD file (Delcam). This generated code will then instruct a CNC (Computer Numeric Control) machine tool to manufacture objects. CNC machines are used throughout industry and can carry out quite complex repetitive work

3 CAD in the textile industry is used for a variety of tasks:
Why is CAD software used in the textile industry? Helps designers draw accurately. You can see the products in 3D. You can rotate the design and view it from all angles. To make changes and modifications quickly and easily. To experiment with different patterns, textures and colourways. To develop basic or standardised designs. To improve the quality of the design. To use simulations to test the design.

4 How can you show this? These pictures show a range of fabric patterns and body forms with the colour range of the product. This is completed using a CAD programme

5 The computer screen images show the process of a CAD drawing that will eventually be used on a multi headed CAM embroidery machine

11 After trialling out several types of CAD programmes in the ICT suite and the textiles room I now have an idea about how good CAD and CAM can be. I have decided not o use CAD in my project as many of the designs did not link into my work. The Janome 300E machine has a good range of existing programmed designs, which can link into many projects. But the sizes are limited and don’t allow you to scale them up or down to a great extent. Therefore, I will not use this embroidery system as part of my work.

13 Objective - To know why CAD and CAM are used in the Textile Industry
Success Criteria My goal is to understand why CAD and CAM are used in the textile industry To actually complete a sample to show that I have developed skills in using a CAM embroidery machine I need to think about the cost implications when manufacturers use such processes.
